This recipe comes from a decades-old church cookbook aptly titled 'Look n Cook'. A ladies group at a Methodist church compiled the recipes in the 1960's, but I didn't find the book until this summer. There are no pictures, no special introductions and no information about the history of the church. It simply contains basic… Continue reading Zucchini Crescent Pie

The changing of the seasons makes me long for the previous one. I love fall, don't get me wrong, but when it really turns into fall I start to miss summer.
