Today, I made my first chiffon pie! This is an adaptation from Martha Stewart’s Orange-Tangerine Chiffon pie, adapted because 1) my supermarket didn’t have the right juice, and 2) I wanted to keep the fat content a little lower than her recipe, so I made a graham cracker crust instead of the cookie crust in [...]

I decided to make my own version of Normandy Apple Tart, using a graham cracker crust instead of the usual higher fat content pastry, and of course using margarine instead of butter. I thought the results were outstanding, and so did my guests. Gone but not forgotten! Enjoy!

Does everyone love chicken pot pie? Everyone I know does. The combination of chicken and vegetables in a warm creamy sauce all tucked under a pie crust is just too good to resist.

Mmmm. A custard pie that melts on your tongue. With no dairy! And no funny soy taste either. Impossible? - NO!
