Mini Blueberry Hand Pies

July 13, 2018 by Dana 1 Comment

Last year was a bumper crop for wild Minnesota blueberries.  I think we picked about 7 buckets in a weekend, maybe more. We picked almost 4 Saturday and were going to head home Sunday after checking game cameras at the land, when we stopped to check out a tip from my mother-in-law to give to…

Apple Pie with a Lattice Crust

November 21, 2015 by Dana Leave a Comment

Apple pies are probably the quintessential pie of fall and winter.  It’s apple season and quite frankly what’s better than a slice of warm apple pie with a nice scoop of vanilla (or for a special treat some of Tory’s homemade cinnamon ice-cream) on top?! When I make fruit pies, I like to make a…

Pumpkin Pie

December 2, 2014 by Dana 4 Comments

The first time I was going to make pies for Thanksgiving, of course I had to make pumpkin pie.  Upon hearing that my husband informs me that “You have to make them with real pumpkin, you know.”   Real pumpkin?  I thought the canned pumpkin was 100% pumpkin.  Oh no, he was talking about me breaking…

Grandma’s Pie Crust

November 30, 2014 by Dana 5 Comments

My parents own and operate a weekly advertising paper called The Ely Shopper.  When I was little the paper would come off the press and need to be folded in half before it was delivered.  We didn’t do this mechanically, we had a group of 6 Slovenian ladies, who were all in their 80s, who…
