I am not a fan of shortening. You will never find a recipe on this website that uses shortening (well, I may have used it one time years ago). I have said it before: It creeps me out. When I see a can of that greasy goo, I just can’t bring myself to cook with…

A Month of Pies: Peaches and Dream Pie
Before I talk about today’s pie, we need to have a chat. If you read my first pie post of the month within a couple days of it being posted, you probably noticed that it said something like “I’m going to make a pie every day until Thanksgiving! Hooray!” Well, if you look at it…
A Month of Pie: Sweet Potato Pie with Toasted Marshmallows
Today was a wonderful day! Today was my first day of freedom! I am done selling shoes!!! Being six months pregnant, I can hardly put my own shoes on, let alone the shoes of customer after customer. But I can still make pie! Today I made a sweet potato pie with a cream cheese crust…

And as I have discovered time and time again, one…
Candied Yams
This is one of my Thanksgiving favorites! I always serve it with the main course even though it is as yummy and sweet as a dessert. This is something that I like now that my taste buds have matured a little bit. When I was young I thought they were disgusting. I never actually…
Grapefruit Sherbet
This definitely in my top three of all the ice creams I have made. It is soooooo delicious! If you like grapefruit, you will love this.This reminds me of college, because I would always buy a Dole Ruby Red Grapefruit Juice while I was studying. I love the slightly bitter, yet sweet taste of grapefruit….
