A 1953 Pie for Thanksgiving
This Better Homes & Garden’s 1953 recipe for Southern Pecan Pie has been sitting in my Dad’s BH&G cookbook, unread and neglected for a few years now, so I thought it might be appropriate to bring it out into the light of day. I checked around to see if dark corn syrup is still available, […]
Thursdays Are For Cooking….
It’s casseroles weather this time of year.

Thursdays Are For Cooking
