Rappie Pie
This is a traditional Canadian dish. The main ingredient is grated potatoes. This was handed down from my family in Nova Scotia. It was always a special treat because originally it was so much work to make but it really was worth waiting for. The traditional method for the grated potatoes was to get a cookie sheet and drive nails through it to create a giant potato grater. After grating (always scraped a knuckle or two), we'd place the mushy potato into a towel and twist it until all the juice was gone. Ouch! Sometimes the towel would rip, shooting the mix everywhere. Now we use our juicing machine.

Big Smokey Burgers
I created this big smokey burger while trying to recreate the best burger I had ever tasted at a restaurant in the Great Smoky Mountains of North Carolina. My family and I think these burgers are better. They are packed with flavor!
