If you ever traveled into areas where Amish people have bakeries you will find fry pies! These hand held delicacies are made with a flaky pie crust filled with various fillings. Traditionally, these are fried like a doughnut but they can be baked, also.
Baked beans are a long standing tradition at barbecues, picnics and potlucks. In the off canning season I will pressure can quarts of baked beans to have on hand for the summer months. Homemade baked beans are so much better than bought and you can control what you put in them.
Bright red juicy strawberries herald the arrival of spring. They are one of the most versatile berries and the most widely cultivated. They are featured in many dishes and are one of the easiest fruits to grow. My garden has always had a large strawberry patch much to my children’s dismay. They hated the weeding but when they berries were ready the patch became much more likeable. June-bearing are my favorite kind to plant. Homegrown strawberries have the most flavor simply because the sugar converts to starch soon after they being picked.

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!
