Fried Apple Pies
July 18, 2021 • Cooking
Sometimes, after you make biscuits you have some left over dough. Don't throw it out, make fried pies.
You can get the biscuit recipe here.
I had never made fried pies before, so I was up for the challenge.I looked online at a few recipes, and then I just went with it.
I like apple pie, so that is the one I am making.
You can use any of your favorites, and I am sure they will be delicious.
In straight up Dana style, I took the easy way out and bought a can of pie filling at the store.
Mash the apples up a little before using in these pies. The slices come a tad to large.
Trust me, these are eaten up so fast, no one will ask where the apples came from.

| Roll out dough onto a lightly floured surface |
Roll the dough out to about 1/8th of an inch. You can use a cookie cutter for a round perfect shape, but I kinda like mine looking rustic.
 |
| Cut dough into sections |
 |
| Using a small scoop, add apple pie filling to dough |
After you seal the edges, fold the dough over the apples and crimp closed with a fork.
Fry in oil until toasty, turning once. I only do one in the pan at a time. I am going to try baking these next time, and I am sure they will be just as yummy.
Pair these with ice cream, for the perfect dessert.

Mom's Recipes- Buttermilk Biscuits
July 12, 2021 • Cooking
My Momma told me if you know how to make biscuits then you can wing it from there to, add jelly, ham, gravy. She said that people thought making biscuits was hard, but then she would grin in her special way, and say it's not that hard. Growing up Saturday mornings were a big breakfast day in our house. I'm talking Sausage, grits, red eye gravy over biscuits. I made my Mom's biscuits many times while she was alive and let me say, they looked like hers but, never tasted like hers.
So, good luck if you are following the recipes at home.

| I found this picture of my Mom making biscuits. This was in here later stages, but she still loved cooking. |
One more piece of Mom advice, she would say, "Just act like everything is fine, and people around you will not know any different". This advice was in reference to things like Sunday dinner & life, she would have food for 10 people, but 15 would show up. She would send me to the freezer and like a magic box, she always had something in there that could be thrown together for a meal, and she never missed a beat. I am glad that I got that skill from her.
I don't know where this recipe came from but, she made them this way as long as I can remember. And, if my memory serves me correct, this was my Grandma Grace's recipe too.

TIPS
Do not use a roller
Make sure you sift the flour
The slower you cook your biscuits, the dryer they will be.
All ovens are different and watch your biscuits until they are golden brown.
My mom would brush the biscuits with softened butter when they came out of the oven. The whole house smelled so good when she was making biscuits, and that is the smell I want when I make them now.
I hope you and your family enjoy!
Please leave comments below, I would love to hear from you if you make these biscuits.

Moms Recipes- Honoring her memory, and making some of her best dishes.
July 2, 2021 • Cooking
Hello Again. Today, I want to introduce you to a new journey that I am going to push my way thru. I am going to complete, some of my Moms favorite family favorites.
My Mom, Carol passed away on May 26, 2017, and I have barely been able to crack open her cookbooks, much less, make anything.
My Mom was an amazing cook, and everything was always so delicious. She taught me to cook from a very young age, and I love being in the kitchen. I know the recipes that I will be making will not taste the same, she added an extra dash of love to everything she touched.
I will share tips and tricks from her cookbooks, little side notes she made and all the sources, if available.
Some recipes she printed out but, many are in her very own handwriting.
Some I wrote at her kitchen table, as she told me the recipe by heart. She was old school and use words like a pinch of this, and a dash of that, as measurements.
Here are just a few of the dishes I will be making over the next month or so, in no certain order.
Peach Cobbler
Pound Cake
Broccoli Casserole
Chicken Casserole
Buttermilk Biscuits
Banana Pudding Poke Cake
Salmon Patties
Pot Roast
I know these are nothing fancy to most people, but me working my way thru her recipes is my own process of honoring her and her memory. It will also be a healing process for me. Yes, it has been years, but the pain is so fresh sometimes I can't breath
I keep this picture of my Mom on a shelf in my kitchen so she can always be with me, and hopefully share just a tad of her cooking & life wisdom with me.

| My Momma loved working at Winn Dixie in the deli. Families with kids named her the cookie lady cause she loved giving the kids cookies. FYI-It is in Winn Dixie, where she met Sonny. |
So, please join this journey and if you live close, please come help me eat some of this food.
Look for the first recipe to be posted next week.
Love,
