Yesterday, I put out a call to my friends in the Needlework and Quilt Industries. I needed recipes for this site and my new cake site. (I’ll give a link to the cake site once I have some recipes! LOL)
An awful lot of my industry friends are *Foodies* as well as being talented needleworkers and quilters, and the recipes are starting to arrive in my eMailBox, so I’ll be adding recipes often over the next week or so!
My friend, Colleen Leader, is VERY busy getting ready for her first time at the Nashville Cash and Carry Show as a Designer. I was pretty thrilled that she was willing to take the time to help me with this project… BEFORE Nashville! (I had plans to nag her about this, once she was home from TN! LOL)
| ILoveToBakePies.com RICOTTA RICE PIE, also known as EASTER PIE |
| My mother-in-law is famous in our family for being the ultimate in the kitchen. She ever so graciously offered this recipe to me when my husband and I were celebrating our first Easter together. She let me know it was his favorite and he was pleasantly surprised when it was on the dinner table at Easter. I hope this recipe brings as much joy to your family celebrations as it has for ours. |
