Pot Pie Dough
I dubbed this mixture Pot Pie Dough because it forms a firm tight seal over Pot Pies but is too dense to be used for a regular pie. It is easily and quickly made in an electric food processor. Make it in one shot if you have a large bowl. […]
Chocolate Clusters
Looking for a quick and easy dessert treat? These Chocolate Clusters require almost no cooking at all! Annie Mae, the lady who worked for my parents for over 60 years, was always looking for ways to satisfy my Mother’s yearning for candy. It was a daunting task; because Mom was […]
