Great american recipes

A great way to use up day-old bread. I like preparing everything and assemble the casserole the night before, then pop the dish into the oven the next morning. The entire house smells "delicious" :) I do sometimes add some sweet bell pepper or broccoli, and my kids don't mind eating veggie this way at all!

This flaky pastry is great for almost all the pies, sweet pies such as pumpkin pies or apple pies, it is well used in savory pies as well, such as turkey pot pie or chicken pot pie... The buttery flavor and flaky texture will definitely satisfy your palate!

This scrumptious apple pie is great for special occasions, just make sure no one takes the name of your dessert serious.

Easy, tasty and loaded with great flavour. A great way to cook with my fall veggies that grow in my garden. I often enjoy this delicious soup with homemade bread, and I can not ask for anything better than that!

A treasured memory of Christmas at Great-Aunt Elizabeth's house was a cookie that I never learned to eat in moderation. Although my mother warned me not to say anything, one of the first things I would say upon arrival was, "I'm hungry" hoping that these cookies would appear. Much to my delight they usually did, and in fact, began also to appear at Easter, the Fourth of July, Thanksgiving and any other time we got together to celebrate.

This dessert is a favorite on the menus at many Houston, Mexican and South American restaurants.

Note: 15 bean mixtures are available packaged in supermarkets and health food stores. If you prefer, make your own by combining equal amounts of dried blackeyed peas, red kidney beans, white kidney beans (cannellini), green lentils, split peas, black beans, yellow split peas, navy beans, cranberry (Roman, shell, or shell out) beans, great Northern beans, pinto beans, small white limas, red lentils, cow peas (field peas), and pink beans. Avoid using beans such as garbanzos and large lima beans, as these take longer to cook than other varities.

I love blueberries and this recipe has great taste. I make this a lot because you can use fresh or frozen blueberries, which I always have in the freezer.The tasty lemon sauce is the perfect topping for this tender cake. If you use frozen berries do not thaw before adding them to the batter.
