Roasted Cinnamon Buttery Pears
Roasted Cinnamon Buttery Pears, simple dish showcasing the straightforward flavor of pears. They are buttery slightly sweet served as an accompaniment to pork, garnished in a winter salad, but also makes an elegant dessert for a fall dinner party, bridal brunch and quick weeknight snack. Pears rarely get center stage over apples and pumpkins in the fall, but for me, they sing fall. Roasting fruit is a purist way to dress up fruit for dessert or accompaniment to other dishes. As much as I like pears, I do not wish to mask the pure flavor of the pear with a lot of other intense flavors. When I eat pears, I want to taste pears.
American Flag Pie with Homemade Pie Crust
American Flag Pie, is made with a homemade pie crust that brings this pie to a rich balance of buttery flakiness as well as a luscious sweet-tart taste of homemade pie filling. My Mother taught me long ago that a pie is only as good as its crust. While there is some high quality ready made pie crust in the stores today, that was not the case when I was growing up. I learned to make pie dough from my Mother and perfected it in my Home Economics class in high school. I recommend making a homemade pie crust if at all possible. For the American Flag Pie recipe, I use one of my favorite pie crust recipes.

The boneless ones have their place though, like in casseroles and dishes that are served with sauces.
