Has anyone ever had Shoofly Pie? I've been watching "the Office" and looked up some info about the Pennsylvania Dutch (one of the characters in the show is one) and came across a recipe. It looks interesting. Anyone tried it?

Haven't tried that one! Name sounded familiar, so looked it up, ingredients sound tasty - make one and let us know

I made a Coconut cream cake for my parents 70th wedding anniversary this weekend. Everyone seemed to love it, only about 2 small pieces left- very easy - I followed the "recipe" - yes, I did use a boxed cake mix LOL My homemade cakes are usually more dense and not quite as "fluffy".

Mind if I share my favorite Cinnamon Roll recipe?
Its from a website called www.divascancook.com

I let the dough rise for about 5 hour during the afternoon, then I let hem rise overnight the second time and bake them of in the morning. I just use a simple powdered sugar/water or milk/vanilla for the glaze

I am trying to learn. I am retired and my wife works. My go to is pasta, scrambled eggs, and meat.

Keep at it! It is very rewarding to bake. You get much healthier and tastier food.

I made my favorite spring recipe for supper.
Chicken and Aspargus:
Ingredients: chicken, mushrooms, asparagus, left-over pasta
Dice chicken and season with salt and pepper. Slice the mushrooms and asparagus into bite sized pieces.
Add oil to pan and Brown the diced chicken. Cook it in small batches so it browns nicely. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.

Dump the mushrooms and asparagus into the pan and cook until crisp tender ( or as well done as you like it).

Add the chicken and leftover pasta to the pan and heat through. You can add some chicken broth to make is slightly saucey, but it is not needed. The mushrooms and asparagus will give enough moisture to mix nicely.
YUMMY!

I need to make cheesecake and silk pie for my nieces wedding shower this weekend.

Going to try a new pie recipe today, I'll let you know how it turns out. The crust is made from crushed Nutter Butter cookies and it has a fudgey filling (it's an ice box pie).

Wish me luck!
