Raspberry Cream Pie
Rich and creamy, this Raspberry Cream Pie is calling all raspberry lovers. Start by making a syrup from fresh raspberries so that it has time to cool. It's very simple to do. Just mix fresh raspberries, corn starch and sugar in a saucepan. Heat and stir until it...
French Strawberry Cake
When we lived in the PNW, we would find ourselves drowning in strawberries every June. I would take the kids to the U-pick farm and we could pick 80 lbs in an hour. We would pay our $0.50 a pound and head home. We would do this multiple times during the 3 week or so...
Tomato Tart
Summer's bounty produces the most wonderful, delicious tomatoes and making them into a tart is summer heaven. Make your own pie crust (pie crust )or use premade crusts. I like the refrigerated ones that come rolled up. Form all the dough into a ball and roll it out...

Grilled Veggie Salad With Goat Cheese
If you love grilled veggies as much as I do then this will be a real treat for you! Use whatever veggies you like and marinate them for awhile. Sometimes I just do zucchini and mushrooms. Place the larger veggies right on the grill. Use a grilling tray...
Woolworth’s Cheesecake
Woolworths Stores were everywhere in the 50s...and theyopened up cafeterias and lunch counters right on the premises. Their customers LOVED it. They could shop, then eat, and shop some more. One of their most popular desserts was their Lemon Cheesecake, which is a...
