If you have ever been a tourist and traveled through Lancaster County, Pennsylvania? There is one kind of pie you will find at every roadside stand. A Shoofly Pie! My favorite version is what is called a wet-bottom pie. This pie features a cake like upper layer with a gooey, custard-style bottom layer baked in a flaky pie crust. So yummy!
Our family loves to try different types of ethnic dishes. This meal of Moroccan Chicken and Rice has become a favorite. The turmeric gives the chicken and rice a golden color and a wonderful flavor. An Instapot is a winner with this recipe as it contains any splatters of turmeric. I love it!
Who doesn’t like a flaky, tender pie crust? With the addition of sourdough starter you get the benefits of healthier carbs combined with the flaky tender crust you are looking for. This recipe is also a way to use up that extra starter that you have been keeping in your fridge.
Do your children ever beg for Hot Pockets and Pig-in-the-Blankets? Did you know that you can easily make them using sourdough? My children love when this is on the menu. I usually allow them to help shape the dough around the array of items we like to use. Try it — you may be surprised how easy it really is.
Christmas Holiday is a time for giving gifts just like God gave the greatest gift to us, Jesus! Our family loves to give gifts to our neighbors like this fruit filled wreath. My regular recipe was filled with so much sugar so I decided to try a sugar-free one. I used my favorite Sourdough Cinnamon Rolls recipe with a few modifications. Polaner All Fruit Spread was an easy fruit filling to use. This recipe makes 2 wreaths–1 to share and 1 to serve to your guests!
Cranberry Orange Cinnamon Rolls are a new favorite at our house. These two flavors combined together bring a seasonal twist to the traditional cinnamon roll. The perfect blend of tart and sweet come together to make these rolls perfect for Christmas breakfast or brunch.
Bins and crates of apples can be found in produce stands this time of year. Their colorful hues range from bright green, yellows, pinks to vibrant reds. Combine apples and sourdough into a sweet treat to eat for dessert or even for breakfast with a cup of coffee. This Latvian Sourdough Apple Cake is a hit with a sweet caramel layer of apples hidden under sourdough batter.
Fall bring with it crisp days, colorful leaves, juicy apples, pumpkins, and cups of hot coffee. Cinnamon rolls are a favorite in our family and you get the best of both by pairing apples and a cinnamon roll together. These rolls are soft and moist with the addition of shredded apples.
If you are like me–you wish peach season would last longer. This fluffy cheesecake features peaches. Even better yet, it is a no-bake dessert so you don’t have to turn your oven on. The walnuts in the crust add a delightful crunch and pair with the smoothness of the filling. There are so many peaches varieties to pick from but my favorites for fresh eating are Red Haven, Sun High, and Contender.
Fresh juicy peaches have come to our produce markets in the north-east corner of Pennsylvania where we now live. One of my favorite ways to serve fresh peaches is in a pie. My family loves it and if I am not careful, it is gone before I get to taste it. I used John-Boy Peaches and they have a very good flavor. Some of my favorite peaches are Red Haven, Contender, and for fresh eating Saturn Peach. Saturn peaches have white flesh and are donut shaped.
