Make This Ahead: Cranberry Pie
I have used cranberries in pies before, but I have never made a cranberry pie- one that features that tart little berry in all it’s glory. I have a recipe for a Cranberry Meringue Pie, which is spectacular, and I’ve tossed cranberries into a pecan pie before. Today’s pie, though, […]
Yes, You CAN Make A Pineapple Pie!
And I don’t know why we don’t see more of them! Yesterday Abigail conducted a science experiment for her Biology course using a fresh pineapple and a box of gelatin. Fresh pineapple is full of enzymes which prohibit gelatin from setting, and it was pretty cool to actually see that […]
Thank You Collard Greens: A Veggie Victory
Remember this post about Collard Greens earlier this year? It turns out the kids not only didn’t like those collard greens, they truly reviled them. This was revealed to me last night by both kids, individually, when the other was not in earshot. The cause for this revelation? I put […]
Tasty German Chocolate Pie
We’ve had a string of bad pies around the Waz Household this last week. First I made a cookie pie that was in need of a whole lot more sugar, and something else that we couldn’t quite figure out. I debated doing some fiddling and tweaking to make it […]
A Nice Twist on Pumpkin Pie
We’re officially in testing mode for some new pies for our Thanksgiving Pie Hour tradition. I have a nice list of pies to try over the next few weeks to see if they are good enough to add to the annual spread. The first pie we tried is not actually […]
Korean BBQ Chicken Marinade
This week Zander’s schoolwork led him to a study of the Korean peninsula, which led to him asking if he could cook something for his end of the week activity. I’ll admit that I know very little about Korean cooking. We actually have a very good, authentic Korean restaurant […]
A Change To Beef Stew
Earlier this week I was flipping through the most recent issue of Real Simple magazine when I stumbled on a recipe for a Slow-Cooker Shepherd’s Pie. The picture was enticing. It looked like a pile of mashed potatoes surrounded by a beef stew, and that stew looked luscious! I read […]
Cottage Pies. Amazing!
Oh my goodness. Last night’s dinner was spectacular. It was a repeat of a dish I’ve made several times before, but never quite in this same way. I’ve posted about this dish before- the original recipe came from Eating Well magazine several years ago. Every time I’ve made it I’ve […]
A Twist On Chicken Pot Pie
A small change has come upon The Waz household this week which is a very welcome change. After working out of town Monday thru Thursday since…hmm… I don’t remember, it’s been a long work season away from home, Andy is now home every evening from work. Their job site this […]
