  1. Cooking tips!

    Did you know that an empty Tostitos salsa/creamy spinach/southwestern dip glass jar will hold the contents of a standard can of green beans or whatever. Then you put it in the microwave and BAM. The tall jars are good for asparigus.

    Also you can take the crumbs from the bottom of the tortia chip bag and pour them right into the jar of dip and spoon it up like cereal.

    Your pie has eyes, he heh.

  3. Mushroom Pie Recipe
    From an old cookbook, via my Mother:

    1 1/2 lbs. mushrooms sliced
    1 cup thinly sliced onion (1 large)
    4 tbs. butter or margarine
    1/3 cup flour
    1 carton (8 0z.) cream-style cottage cheese
    1/4 cup chopped parsley
    1/4 cup dry sherry
    1 tsp. salt
    1/8 tsp. pepper
    pastry for 2 crust pie
    1 egg yolk
    2 tbs. water

    Saute’ mushrooms and onions in butter or margarine about 10 minutes or until tender; remove from heat. Mix in flour. Add cottage cheese, parsley, sherry, salt, and pepper; mix thorougly; reserve. Prepare pastry. Heat oven to 425 degrees. Roll out half the pastry on a lightly floured board in a 12 inch circle. Line a 9 inch pie plate allowing 1 inch overhang. roll out remaining pastry; cut into 1/2 inch strips. Pour mushroom cheese mixture into pastry lined pie plate. Arrange pastry strips lattice fashion on top of filling. Trim ends even with edge. Moisten and fold overhang up over ends. Flute edge. Beat egg yolk and water; brush on pastry strips. Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until browned. Cover edge of pie with strip of aluminum foil after 20 minutes to prevent overbrowning. Cool 5 minutes.

  4. I adore the advent of the rolled up pre-made pie crusts. The frozen ones suck(taste not-so-great and it’s hard to find one that hasn’t been broken to pieces).

  5. I made this for my veggie sister-in-law for Christmas dinner, and she loved it. Thanks for sharing!
