The Perfect Coconut Pie Crust Every Time {Easy}
This coconut pie crust recipe is soooo easy; it looks amazing when served and tastes amazing, too. It has only two ingredients (magical words, right?).
As we prepare for sweet family times of Thanksgiving around the dinner table, I decided to think ahead about the pies I might want to make.

Aroniaberry Love and 6 Recipes: Cookies, Bars, Pie & More
We had four young visitors from the UK and the East Coast just recently who raved that this was the best pie they’d ever had. And, of course, we were thrilled! Since we are really just learning how to add aronias to our diet, their confirmation spurred us on to continue collecting aroniaberry more recipes. (Pie recipe below).

Basic Shortbread Recipe & 6 Tea-Time Variations
I’ve had a craving for shortbread ever since I was a little girl traveling with my parents in the UK on the way to visit family in Holland. When we stopped for tea in the countryside they served crispy, little buttery confections just like these.

Early this June at a friend’s graduation party, I spied this pretty plate of mouth-watering lavender shortbreads. Now I have the bug to make them myself, so I can eat all I want 🙂 Our whole family loves to eat them, so unless I make them myself and hide them, all I ever get is one fifth of the batch!
With this recipe, it is able to be made ahead and chilled (as in a cookie-dough roll in wax paper) or frozen, and don’t you love the fork-holes?
