What a wonderful blog! I just love everything and can't wait to begin trying some of your scrumptious recipes. Thank you so much for sharing them and will be sure to let others know to come visit you too :)
Hi Barbara - This is going to sound weird, but I'd love to see your taco recipe and everything that goes with it! DH LOVES tacos, but I hate to admit, I've only ever made them from one of those kits! *CRINGE* So I would love to see a proper recipe and the sides all sounds delicious too!!! Thanks!
Thank you Helena. I'm glad you stopped by.
Deborah -- I don't have a recipe written down, but when I make them on Tuesday, I will write it down. I don't use a mix -- too much salt (and who knows what else). I use some tomato sauce and spices from my cabinet. It ends up tasting pretty close to the package, but I know what's in it.
I'll post after Tuesday.
Your lemon mousse pie looks delicious. Tell me your deep dark secret: do you make your own pie crust? If so, my sweet, please share your favorite recipe.
Lard?
Butter?
A combination?
A light & flaky crusty is what I'm after (but am not yet obtaining).
The Lemon Mousse Pie was good, but a little tart for my taste. This is the first time I've made it, since I found it on Catholic Culture website. I guess more sugar? I suspected that 1 c. would not be quite enough.
I use an old Crisco pie crust recipe.
For a single pie crust:
1-1/3 level cups all-purpose flour
1/2 level teaspoon salt
1/2 level cup Crisco
3 tablespoons cold water
I have never been very happy with a butter-only crust -- it's a different flavor. I have made it with lard and I must say it is better. But with early heart attacks running in my family I can't do that to us on a regular basis. I have read that vinegar in your crust makes it flakier, but never tried it.
I've also been known to pick up a Pillsbury pie crust at the grocer (although they're kind of pricey) and the frozen crusts are good as well.
I usually make my own just because it's simpler -- I always have those ingredients.
Thanks, Barbara!
I found your blog on foodie blogroll. Not sure if you are aware, there is a Menu Monday at http://orgjunkie.blogspot.com every Monday where you can post your weekly meals. :)
