Black & Blue Berry Pie

We love pie in this household, and I love baking easy things. :) This pie was a version of the Blackberry Pie found is the wonderful cookbook, Me, Myself, and Pie by Sherry Gore. The pie crust was made from the recipe in this cookbook (another favorite). Pie crust takes mere minutes to make and is SO MUCH BETTER than stuff from the store.

I add the everything bagel seasoning from Trader Joe's. Do you use an air fryer? It's an amazing little oven! ... View the Post

Easy Instant Pot Great Northern Beans & VIDEO

Cooking dry beans in the Instant Pot is very, very easy! I have a video tutorial below. :) I purchased my beans from Azure Standard. The price for organic, non-GMO beans is great. I have found that one pound of dry beans, cooked, will give you the equivalent to three cans of beans from the store. It is MUCH cheaper to cook them yourself. ... View the Post
