Best blueberry pie ever created by my friend Patsy. Most blueberry pies lose the depth of taste of the original fruit and dissolve into sweetness. This one explodes with fresh blueberry flavor. Top with...
Crostata is often made with a rich buttery pastry but it also works well with a low-fat base. It tastes best the same day when the pastry is crispy. Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
A different take on a pear pie, using sweet almond paste (marzipan) in the cream filling. The almond flavor delicately compliments the pears, without too much sweetness. Select pears that are 'just' ripe,...

This is a delicious pie that includes blueberries, boysenberries, and strawberries in a thick and fruity filling that is all housed in a hearty, healthy whole wheat crust!
My son always wanted this pie for his 'birthday cake'. This pie was originally an unbaked pie but with raw eggs being iffy nowadays we now bake it. You can also use prepared graham cracker crusts or baked...
A cool, refreshing, great-for-summer treat! Inside the pastry cups you have a light, creamy, whipped cream and fresh, juicy peaches. Super easy and super yummy!
This pie is perfect for people who think that traditional pies (pecan, cherry, etc.) are just too sweet. It puts a light and tangy spin on any holiday, or picnic! It was a huge hit at Thanksgiving this...

This is an adaptation of a recipe I found while researching Georgian food for a party. It has become a favorite dessert for my group of friends. The original called for purple raisins, but I like the flavor...
This pie is a tropical version of a pecan pie that I came up with. Everyone that tries it loves it! With the fruits and macadamia nuts it reminds me of something that would be served on a tropical island,...

Cool and creamy; avocado is the 'secret' ingredient ! Use very ripe avocados. Garnish with whipped cream. Use a vanilla crumb crust for a wonderful variation on this recipe. Please note: this recipe contains...
Yellow raisins and pecans. This makes a very tasty "hand pie." My mother used to make this when I was a kid. Eggs were 15 cents per dozen, butter 15 cents per pound. She considered this expensive, and...
I am 59 years old, and this recipe was an original from the personal collection of my Grandma's dear friend Maudie, an elderly housewife who lived on an Indiana farm that was blessed with an abundance...
This recipe uses orange-flavored liqueur, which 'wakes up' the flavor of the blueberries. It is wonderful on a hot summer day. Fresh blueberries during July - the peak season - are the best.
