Hey Amy!

We began the week with a Strawberry Pie and I thought we would end with one as well.  This recipe is from Nany’s kitchen as so many this week have been.  What can I say?  I honestly believe my grandmother is the best.  Period.  End of discussion. Ingredients: 1 small package strawberry gelatin 1 c. [...]

Nany makes the best baked beans.  This recipe is one I remember from my youth when Nany would make it for those larger than life family picnics.  You know the ones where relatives come from all over and you forgot about them until they arrived?  Those picnics.  Nany would fry the chicken, make the potato [...]
