Grandma won many blue ribbons at the state fair with this scrumptious pie.

Although this pie was very dense and rich, we always asked for seconds!

Grandpa liked fruit and Grandma liked chocolate. This dessert satisfied them both.

Sweet and tart, this cool pie tasted like summer all year round.

We loved biting into this rich cake. It seemed to just melt in our mouths.

This cool lime pie was a big hit on hot summer days and warm summer nights.

Grandpa’s mom made this cake a lot during the war when dairy products were being rationed.

The best part of a dinner at Grandma’s house was enjoying a piece of her irresistible pecan pie.

This delicious cake with fresh strawberries was a family favorite to make in the good old summertime.

This pie is so rich that Grandma gave the children only a half slice, which we called ‘doll slices.’
