This pork pie recipe is a standard Christmas Eve or New Year's Eve treat in my predominantly French Canadian hometown in Maine. It's served with catsup or mustard, tossed salad, and pickles. Simple but wonderful. Top individual servings with catsup or mustard before serving.

Father's Day Casserole
My daughter and I created this breakfast casserole for Father's Day. It's easy to make in a short amount of time.
Canadian Bacon Breakfast Stack
This is a lightened version of one my favorite breakfasts. Hot pepper sauce is necessity! Sprinkle it over the top before you dig in! Canadian bacon comes from the loin area of the hog so it is very lean and quite tender.
Mom's Baking Powder Biscuits
This is the recipe for baking powder biscuits my mom always made. I like to use the butter-flavored shortening, but you can also use regular. The amount of biscuits you get depends on how big you make them and their thickness. My daughter likes me to make smaller ones.
