"During the hard winter of 1880 and 1881, the supply trains could not get through to De Smet until May. Then Pa bought white flour, sugar, dried apples and other badly needed supplies. The Ingalls family...
This is a recipe I adopted from the Recipezaar account. UPDATE May 30, 2006: This is great! The mint flavour somewhat dissipates but it is still lurking in there! As it was hot in my kitchen, the chocolate...
This is a great "light" dessert that can be made very low fat using the Lower fat versions of the cream cheese, milk, cool whips. I always make this for Pot Luck's and it is always a favorite. So many...
This refreshing summer recipe comes from my local Sur La Table kitchen store. Note: By substituting key lime juice for the margarita mixer, you can make a delicious, tart key lime pie!
I like this recipe because it comes the closest to the "real thing" without using sugar and corn syrup. Also, when you eliminate the crust, you eliminate lots of fat and carbs. This is useful for diabetic...
Not Apple Pie made in the nude, but rather apple pie without its traditional pastry covering. Instead, it has a walnutty streusel topping! Adapted from recipes in Good Housekeeping and Family Circle (I...
I have been making this pie for years, daughter #2 loves it. We prefer ripe bartletts in this. The custard-y filling is not too sweet. The most time consuming step is the peeling of the pears!
If you're not as into the health-ified blueberry pie recipe I have up (Recipe #430494) and prefer it sweet instead of tart, you might like this one as it also calls for frozen blueberries-- they're really...
This is a nice traditional spiced pumpkin pie with an added zestiness of orange in the crust and the filling. The boubon whipped cream is a nice kicked-up topping. Prep time includes chilling.
A Thanksgiving and Christmas favorite for the family. An executive chef buddy of mine gave me the tip of always adding a small pinch of cayenne pepper to fruit pies and cobblers. He said that it opens...
For all you "raw foodists" out there -- here's apple pie without cooking! I got this from a friend and have never tried it myself, but I'm sure it's good.
I got this recipe out of the LCBO Food and Drink booklet a few years ago. I thought I would post it now since Raspberry season is soon here. A decadent tart that is especially easy to make. The mascarpone...
One of my adopted recipes, this pie is a bit out of the ordinary. It did not turn out like I expected, but I enjoyed it. Try it and see if you like it too. Preparation time includes cooling time for the...
Non alcoholic. Great dessert for the Holidays and for family dinners with children. Our grandsons wait all year for me to serve this on News Years Day dinner. This has become a great family tradition....
I've had this recipe for many years on an old recipe card that is yellowing badly. I'm putting it here for safekeeping. This is a very tasty pie and different from most others I've had. Prep time does...
From Betty Crocker's Best Of Baking. For an equally good chocolate-orange version (if you don't like caramel and nuts), omit the caramel nut layer, and add a bit of orange extract to the cream cheese and...
This is really easy to make and very delicious. I got the recipe from my Aunt Rose. You can substitute other fruits for the strawberries and then use the corresponding jello flavor.
This pie not only looks beautiful but is very delicious. My non-diabetic family wants me to make it every day. Came from diabetic-recipes.com... I love strawberry pie and was looking for a recipe I could...
If you love chocolate and almonds, you'll love this! A very rich, decadent dessert I serve for special occasions. I imagine the leftovers could be frozen but, I'm not sure as there has never been any left...
From The Pirate's House restaurant in Savannah, GA. http://www.thepirateshouse.com/index.htm I found this on the Internet and someone listed it as one of those things you must have before you "kick the...
This Snickers pie is different from some others I've seen posted. There is no cool-whip or pudding mix in this one. It's delicious and great for parties as you can make it a day ahead.
