Patriotic Fruit Tarts

Ingredients- 1/3 cup sugar 2 tblsp Corn Starch 1/3 tsp salt 2 c. Milk 2 egg yolks beaten 2 tblsp Butter 2 tsp Vanilla 3/4 cup of sweet coconut...

Easy Peasy Kielbasa & Kraut

We attended a reception a few weeks ago for some special friends. They had their children blessed at church. At the reception- they had delicious food. However this one caught our eye. Because we never thought to bake them together as they did.  I don’t know why not- but we were introduced to this easy 2 ingredient dish.  We even had seconds that night. **I stand corrected this is NOT a southern dish-...

Big hit with the family. In fact we almost ate too much of it before we remembered to take a photo. Chad created this pie from about 3 different recipes and tweaked it enough. This is his 2nd try and is a winner....
