We asked Grandma if she had to cook all day to make her beef-and-vegetable pie. She just smiled.
Grandma's Secret Trick
Grandma used whatever leftover meat and vegetables she had to make a main-dish pie. Sometimes we had chicken with broccoli and pearl onions. Other times it was cubed pork with sweet potatoes.
Grandpa always said that plain good cooking like this never goes out of style.
When I was 10 years old, Grandma let me help cook the sauce. My job was to stir in the berries.
