i think this would taste good but it's a little weird that there's little else to it. maybe it had some spinach as well?

Cook the Book: 'Sweety Pies'
I bought the Sweet Melissa's Cookbook and decided to make the Cherry Pie with Pecan Crumble, thinking it'd be a quick job. It took me 4 hours to make b/c I had no blender and so had the hand ground the oats into oat flour by chopping. Then hand shell and finely chop the pistachios. Then hand pit the 2lbs of cherries. It was delicious and I ended up eating 99% of the pie by myself!

made this last night - it's a really great recipe! easy too!
Blogwatch: Eggs Cooked in Muffin Tins
this would be good for an eggs benedict type of recipe. but this sounds similar to the mark bittman concept of eggs in a souffle dish. spring some olive oil, add some pancetta or proscuitto, some cheese, and plop an egg on top. it's delicious! and a great breakfast dish/appetizer.

I've had Bear Naked, Galaxy, and Artisanal granolas. Bear Naked is my chief brand, can't help it, the stuff's GOOD lol! But, I'm also atrracted to the Galaxy brand because I love it calorie and fat content, are great. Artisanal is good too and has alittle more nutrients&minerals in it than the other 2, yet all 3 are very healthy. Though BN is my main brand, I occassionaly switch between these 3 brands, due to their fat, calorie, carb and sugar contents are in the range that I like, unlike some other brands which are, let's say, a wee bit too much in those areas. :-)

I've had Artisanal, Bear Naked and Galaxy. I frequent Bear Naked the most, hey, the stuff's GOOD! But, I also have had Galaxy, which is yummy too! Also, I love the calorie and fat content of Galaxy aswell, that's what atrracts me to that brand, but I'm still faithful to Bear Naked too! Artisanal is really good too, and loaded with more nutrients than the other brands I've noticed. # basically great brands with a fat,calorie, carb range I like.

Bear Naked is the best, definitely my favorite granola. I pretty much love all their flavors, but my very favorite might be the Mango Agave Almond from the Native line.
Who exactly told you the Native line wasn't being produced anymore? I work at Whole Foods and we sell three different Native flavors: the Mango Agave Almond, Maple Hemp Walnut, and Yumberry Gogi Currant. It's actually still a relatively new product, at least in my store. I haven't heard anything about it being discontinued.
Feed is another one of my favorite brands, I hope they come out with more flavors. I really like the Kashi Mountain Medley granola too.
I've made my own granola a few times, and it came out great, and it really is much more economical to make your own. For some reason though I still buy it much more often than I make it, convenience I guess, plus Bear Naked is as good as homemade in my opinion. And since a lot of their flavors get most of their sweetness from unrefined sugars, and the fat is mostly all good fat from nuts and seeds, I see no reason to feel bad about buying to my granola-loving heart's content :)
Dessert Inspiration from Milan: A Carrot-Buttermilk Tart
Pointy: I developed this crust recipe specifically for this tart, but you could certainly substitute just about any standard tart dough recipe, just bear in mind that certain dough recipes are better for use with moist fillings than others.
But here's the deal with the egg white and cereal: Egg white helps to make/keep baked goods crunchy and/or dry, which is imporant here with the moist filling, plus using one egg white in the crust conveninently leaves you with the one yolk needed for the filling. The All-Bran was a shortcut to impart the nutty, graham cracker-like flavor and the specific texture that I was looking for without having to have wheat bran, whole wheat flour and malt powder/syrup on hand. Plus, I've found that the cereal has a longer shelf-life than the flour or the bran, both of which have a certain tendency to go rancid and funky after a while if not kept in the freezer.

This really sounds intriguing. I must try it.
But I don't get the egg white/All-Bran (?)crust.

There's this great place on 125th called Mobay.....went there last Sunday, great food, live music and wonderful drinks!! The service was great too!! Another is Manna's.....they're all over the place and while I haven't been there, I've heard great things. For a "Harlem Experience" Slyvia's could work....but it is a bit of a touristy spot!!
Happy eating!!!

TORTIERE! It is an amazing French-Canadian Meat Pie and my mother makes it every Christmas Eve! It simmers ground beef, veal and lamb together for hours with spices and fills a buttery double pie crust and is baked to perfection! OMG!

The most memorable pie for me would probably have to be when I first got to have a piece of chocolate cream pie at Thanksgiving. I had been allergic to dairy and finally outgrew it. I was thrilled to get to finally get to try it!

Fried Apricot Pie at Pat's Barbeque in Fort Worth. Back when I was in high school a certain group of us from the nearby neighborhood used to hang out there after school and on weekends. Barbecue bologna sandwiches and fried pies were our staples along with the fountain-made cokes and 7-Up's to which you could get vanilla or cherry syrup added. But the apricot fried pie was the most delicious pie I have ever eaten...the crisp pie crust was tender and not greasy and was overloaded with pure mashed redolent apricots...that is all you could taste along with the subtle unctiousness of butter. I have never tasted a pie purer in flavor since.
Dinner Tonight: Orange and Red Onion Salad
There is a recipe for this salad in one of the Silver Palate cookbooks (I think the first one, though I'm not positive). Their recipe calls for marinating the very thinly sliced onion in a vinaigrette, before composing the salad. This takes a lot of the bite out of the onion. It also calls for herbs (fresh or dried), which add a lot to the flavor of the salad. It sounds strange, but it's delicious...though not really meant to be eaten as entree.

I like this salad with some finely sliced fennel and black olives.

Pecan Pie...When I was young I always thought it looked gross...but once I tried one that my mom made, I was hooked!
Dinner Tonight: Orange and Red Onion Salad
It does seem to be missing *something* to tie it together. I can't see eating a bowl of oranges and onions with nothing but salt, pepper and oil. To each their own I guess, but I would want a base of greens, or some herbs, or at the very least chop everything smaller and add a dressing incorporating that oil with some orange juice and some other flavor.
Goat cheese sounds like a tasty addition!
Dinner Tonight: Orange and Red Onion Salad
I've made something similar, and it's really tasty - even better with some goat cheese crumbled on top.

The most memorable pie I ate was an apple pie in Oak Glen, California at the pick-your-own fruit orchards there that was piled high with delicious fruit.

The Key Lime Pie at the Colonial House at Busch Gardens in Florida. They have the BEST and I've tasted a lot of these everywhere I travel. This one was creamier and yummier. I need their recipe.

My mom's strawberry pie. I love it, and I don't even like strawberries that much. Yum!

Great-Grandma's Chocolate Cream Pie! She always made a little bowl for me with the leftover pudding. I loved "Pudding Skin" then, as much as I do today!

The most memorable pie I've ever eaten was a creamy coconut pie made by my grandmother. She would use eggs from her own chickens and cream from her own cows. Oh, what a walk down memory lane.

My grandmother's Key Lime Pie, from fresh key limes grown in her own yard. She's been gone a long time, but I remember it as if it were yesterday.
