    I like pecan pie and I just use the one on the back of the Karo syrup bottle. Another good choice is egg custard. My family loves it and fights over it.

    Yield: 1 pie, 8 servings

    Best Flaky Pastry:

    Mix flour and salt in medium bowl. Cut in shortening, using pastry blender or crisscrossing 2 knives, until particles are size of small peas. Sprinkle with cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing with fork until all flour is moistened and pastry almost leaves side of bowl (1 to 2 teaspoons more water can be added if necessary).

    Well, since it’s the Apples that take on their fullest, sweetest flavor this month here in Ohio, then anything apple is great. I like to mix mine with some berries however, just for that little special something and this is one of my favorite recipes:

    Dutch Apple Berry Pie

    INGREDIENTS
    2 cups sliced green apples
    1/2 cup raspberries
    1/2 cup fresh blueberries
    1 (9 inch) deep dish pie crust
    2/3 cup all-purpose flour
    2/3 cup packed brown sugar
    1/3 cup butter
    1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
    1 pinch ground nutmeg

    DIRECTIONS
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
    Mix apples, raspberries and blueberries; pour into pie shell.
    In a large bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, butter or margarine, cinnamon, allspice and nutmeg. Mix until dry and crumbly. Sprinkle over fruit.
    Bake for 30 minutes, or until topping is brown.

    So simple, so delicious…………enjoy and happy pie cooking!

    Extremely Easy Vegetable Soup:

    Big jug of V8 vegetable juice
    Your favorite frozen and fresh veggies (NOT canned, except tomatoes or Asian veggies), as thick as you want it
    Black pepper and any other seasoning you like, to taste

    Start warming up the soup and seasonings first, then add veggies according to biggest, hardest, frozen ones first. Let it cook until the veggies are as soft as you want. Don’t forget that every time you reheat it on the stove the veggies will get softer. This also works great in a crock pot. Put it on low all day, unless you like soft veggies.

    Personally, I go for:
    Low sodium V8 juice
    carrots
    broccoli
    cauliflower
    water chestnuts
    corn
    green beans
    peas
    stewed tomatoes
    celery
    bamboo
    black pepper
    italian seasoning
    Cook about an hour on medium-high and serve with garlic crutons to put on top

    Ooh my, here are my favorites. Maybe it will help you.

    Coconut Cream Pie -

    1 already made graham cracker crust
    Coconut flavored pudding (prepare as directed)
    1 container of whip cream
    1 pkg sweet coconut

    - combine pudding and 2/3 of whip cream - place in pie shell
    the spread remainer whip cream over, and cover top with coconut.

    Sweet Potato Pie -

    Sweet Potato Pie Filling (or you can just bake some and squish yourself add butter and cinnamon)

    Already made pie crust - place filling in crust and bake as directed.

    Chocolate Mousse Pie -

    Easy, same as coconut except no whip cream in pudding, place pudding directly into shell, add whip cream on top, and shavings of your favorite chocolate bar, and then chocolate syrup drizzled over, refridgerate for 2 hours before serving.

    Also, BettyCrocker.Com has alot of good ones try there.
