Milk Bar Pie
The other day Raychel and I were really wanting something sweet to eat! I started looking at old recipes and commenting that I wanted something different. Something that wasn’t very heavy and seemed a little more “summer” worthy. Well, Raychel started telling me about a place she ate when she was on a trip to […]

The last time it was revised and enlarged was in 1957. The book is full of what I am dubbing “Traditionally Tasty” recipes. […]
