My paternal grandma’s mincemeat pie was a much sought after item by relatives close and far on my dad’s side of the family. It was not turned down on my mom’s side of the family either 🙂 It was a staple at the Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner table. She and my parents tweaked her original […]

The only place I have ever had Oatmeal Pie is in the Amish Country of Ohio. I read that it is/was popular in the southern United States as well. However, I have never found it on a menu since moving to the South more than six years ago. It does remind me of pecan pie, […]
I remember being about my daughter’s current age, eight, and being taught by my paternal grandmother how to make pie crusts. My favorite part was helping her get the flour from the Hoosier cabinet’s flour bin by turning the handle to sift the flour into the container to be measured. My second favorite part was […]
