The Andersen's Pear Pie

I'm not a big fan of Pumpkin Pie, so we when we were first married we started experimenting with other pies and this is what Ryan and I came up with. It became our new traditional Thanksgiving Day pie.


Prepared or pre-made pie dough
1 Egg
3 Tbs. Flour
3/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup melted butter
5 cups halves of canned pears
Cinnamon and sugar in shaker
Serve with Vanilla Ice Cream

Preheat oven to 450*F, line a 9-inch pie pan with pie dough. Combine and blend egg, flour, sugar, and melted butter. Arrange pears in pie shell (cups up) and pour batter over them. Put second pie dough over lattice style or prick, then flute edges. Sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar. Bake 10 minutes at 450*F, then reduce the heat to 350*F and bake about 35-45 minutes or until golden brown. YUM!
(Can also be made with peaches)

Chicken Alfredo

3-4 Chicken Breast 

1 pkg Cream Cheese 1/3 fat

1 can Cream of Chicken soup

1 can Water (I only use 1/2 can water)

1 pkg Dried Italian Seasoning

1/2 c. Butter

Cook 4 hours on high in crock pot.  You can cube the chicken before you cook it or shred the chicken after.  Pour over noodles or rice.

Some ask, “Why didn’t the Brethren warn us to prepare and store food?” They already have:
...”We encourage you to grow all the food that you feasibly can on your own property. Berry bushes, grapevines, fruit trees—plant them if your climate is right for their growth. Grow vegetables and eat them from your own yards. Even those residing in apartments or condominiums can generally grow a little food in pots and planters. Study the best methods of providing your own foods. Make your garden neat and attractive as well as productive. If there are children in your home, involve them in the process with assigned responsibilities...Develop your skills in your home preservation and storage. We reaffirm the previous counsel the Church has always given, to acquire and maintain a year’s supply—a year’s supply of the basic commodities for us.
We encourage families to have on hand this year’s supply; and we say it over and over
and over and repeat over and over the scripture of the Lord where He says, ‘Why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?’ Spencer W. Kimball, April Conference, 1976
December is a good time to plan for next year, and to order trees and plants for spring planting. It takes months and years to get a harvest off of some plants, so we should begin now.

Navajo Fry Bread
3 ½ Cups flour, white & whole wheat ½ cup powdered milk
1 Tbsp baking powder 1 ¾ cup warm water
½ tsp salt
Put everything in bowl, and mix with your hands. Knead until not sticky. Let set, covered, for about 2 hours for best results, but it can be used immediately. Pat a small amount of dough out with oiled hands, turning and stretching to make it flat. Pinch a hole in the center and fry in hot oil until light brown, then turn and cook on other side. You can cut into smaller pieces and use as bread at a meal, or tope with beans, meat, rice, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, etc., for a whole meal. You can use this recipe for donuts, and can fry in smaller bits and cover with cinnamon, nutmeg, sugar or powdered sugar for a treat. For crisp bread, make 1 inch balls, or roll out thinner, then cut in wedges for frying.

Fall Pumpkin Dip

This is so delicious; I would eat it for every meal if I could. It's also a great snack or appetizer for Thanksgiving, Halloween, or Fall football parties!

1 can pumpkin (15 oz)
1 package cream cheese (8 oz)
2 cups powdered sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon
2 teaspoons pumpkin spice

Let cream cheese soften at room temperature for a while, then combine all ingredients and whip with an electric hand mixer. You may have to whip it for a while depending on the softness of the cream cheese. Let chill in refrigerator until ready to serve.

Serve with apples, ginger snap cookies, graham crackers or whatever else you can think of!
