Old Fashioned Southern Chess Pie
Tara on Jul 21st 2011
Here’s one of my favorite Southern classics that my Mom used to make for Sunday dinner. My Mom always said that if you are going to make one pie, you might as well go ahead and make two pies! She was right you know. Don’t you think the world would be a better place if […]
4th of July Blueberry Crumb Pie!
Tara on Jun 30th 2011
Each year I freeze oodles of blueberries for my fruit loving son Micah. Aldi had blueberries for cheaper than I could pick them. And over the past 2 weeks, I’ve frozen about 72 pints of blueberries. Those pretty berries are neatly stacked in the garage freezer, just waiting to be reincarnated as blueberry pancakes, blueberry […]
Mom’s Old Fashioned Chocolate Icebox Pie
Tara on Jun 1st 2011
It’s ironic that I’m listening to Lauren Alaina’s Like My Mother Does while remembering how my Mom made her Chocolate Icebox Pie and blogging about it. This pie is hands down my absolute favorite dessert my Mom ever made in our home. And I am so thankful that I can carry on the tradition and […]

Each Wednesday, Hope gets to participate in a wonderful home school program called Classical Conversations. All students are required to give weekly oral presentations and Hope’s friend Bethany made these delicious Resurrection Rolls and shared with the class last week.

Nutter Butter Peanut Butter Pudding Parfaits, Bananas Optional
Tara on Mar 29th 2011
Growing up in the south, banana pudding was a favorite treat prepared by both my Grandmothers. I never met anyone who did not like banana pudding, until I met my husband. During our courting days he agreed to eat a whole banana IF I would drink a glass of boiled custard. I still owe him […]
Absolutely the Best Apple Crumb Pie
Tara on Sep 26th 2010
I don’t like to repost recipes, but my oven has been out for over a month now, and I am about out of crock pot meals and charcoal for the grill. Since tonight is a crisp, cool evening, and the apples are ready to pick at the orchards, I am reposting our favorite apple pie recipe. […]
Key Lime Pie Ice Cream
Tara on Jul 6th 2010
Nothing says SUMMERTIME better than home made ice cream right? I have happy, but hot summertime memories from my childhood. We didn’t have A/C until I was 7 years old. We lived in the country near my grandmother. She didn’t have A/C either. But I remember cookouts, and watermelon, cold Double Cola in a glass […]
Blackberry Lemon Shortcake
Tara on Jun 18th 2010
A few weeks ago, I posted my great grandmother’s recipe for shortcake. My mom would make shortcake and serve it one of two ways – either smothered with hot fudge sauce or topped with sweetened strawberries and cream. The shortcake was such a hit here with our kids, I’ve created a lemon shortcake and served it with […]
