Poor Man's Pie
This is an awesome recipe for poor man's pie that I got from my coworker. It can be modified in many ways, including for the slow cooker. It's a simple meal of things you often already have on hand that really sticks to the bones, and it can also be a fun way to use up some leftovers.
My Best Clam Chowder
This classic clam chowder is cream-based and calls for the traditional chowder ingredients: onion, celery, potatoes, diced carrots, cream, and clams. A little red wine vinegar is added before serving for extra flavor.
Southern Pecan Pie II
I received this recipe from my friend Joyce three years ago, she in turn got it from a elderly southern lady. It is a real classic Southern style pecan pie and is very pretty too!
