Gob or Whoppie Pie

I grew up in Western Pennsylvania–the land of the wonderful “gob”, known in other parts as a “whoopie pie”. I have several recipes for gobs, but the homemade white filling (not the yellow stuff found in the commercially marketed gobs) never seems to be quite right; it is never as fluffy, thick, or sweet as […]

Dry Dip Mixes

Stuffed Pepper With Chicken

Friendship Cake

Etouffe

Fruit and Nut Butter Spread

Ingredients: 1/4 cup raw or lightly roasted […]
