I love to go to Williams - Sonoma! They always have the coolest finds! Well this week I was in there and spotted my new "Have To Have" (as my husband calls them). It is a pocket pie mold. They have a star one too! But I loved the heart. I went to their site and got this recipe. They are so fun to make you have got to try them. And aren't they the cutest "Have to Haves" you have seen in a while! <br />These individual pies are simple to prepare using our pocket pie molds. With their luscious cherry filling, the tasty treats are a perfect snack to enjoy at home or on the go.<br />Ingredients:<br />2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour<br />1 tsp. salt, plus a pinch<br />2 Tbs. plus 1/2 cup granulated sugar<br />16 Tbs. (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch dice<br />6 to 8 Tbs. ice water<br />1 1/2 Tbs. cornstarch<br />2 cups fresh or frozen pitted sour cherries, thawed and drained if frozen<br />1 tsp. vanilla extract<br />1 egg, lightly beaten with 1 tsp. water<br />Coarse sugar for sprinkling<br />Vanilla ice cream for serving (see related recipe at left)<br />Directions:<br />In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the flat beater, beat together the flour, the 1 tsp. salt and the 2 Tbs. granulated sugar on low speed for 10 seconds. Add the butter and beat until the mixture resembles coarse meal, about 30 seconds. Increase the speed to medium-low and beat for 1 1/2 minutes more. Add the 6 Tbs. ice water, reduce the speed to low and beat for 20 seconds. The dough should hold together when squeezed with your fingers but should not be sticky. If it is crumbly, add more water, 1 tsp. at a time, and beat for 5 seconds after each addition. Divide the dough in half, wrap with plastic wrap and shape each into a disk. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to overnight.<br /> In a saucepan, whisk together the 1/2 cup granulated sugar, the cornstarch and pinch of salt, then add the cherries and vanilla. Set over medium-high heat and cook until slightly thickened, about 15 minutes. Let the filling cool.<br />Let the dough stand at room temperature for 5 minutes. On a floured surface, roll out 1 dough disk into a round 1/16 to 1/8 inch thick. Brush off the excess flour. Using a pocket pie mold, cut out 8 of each shape (4 solid and 4 with the decorative cutout). Reroll the dough scraps, if necessary, and cut out more shapes. Repeat with the remaining dough disk.<br />Place a solid dough shape in the bottom half of the cutter and gently press the dough into the mold. Fill the center with 1 to 2 Tbs. cherry filling and brush the edges of the dough with some of the egg wash. Top with a shape with a decorative cutout. Press the top half of the cutter down to seal and crimp the edges of the pie. Remove the pie from the mold and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling. Freeze the pies for 30 minutes.<br />Preheat an oven to 400°F. Brush the top of the pies with egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar. Bake until the crust is golden brown and the filling is gently bubbling, about 20 minutes. Transfer the pies to a wire rack and let cool for 10 minutes. Serve with vanilla ice cream. Makes about 8 pocket pies.<br /><br />You can get them online at: <a href="http://www.williams-sonoma.com/products/9175274/index.cfm?clg=80&bnrid=3212101&cm_ven=Shopping&cm_cat=Become&cm_pla=default&cm_ite=default"><span style="color: #5588aa;">http://www.williams-sonoma.com/products/9175274/index.cfm?clg=80&bnrid=3212101&cm_ven=Shopping&cm_cat=Become&cm_pla=default&cm_ite=default</span></a><br /><br />I am now off to surf the web for more pocket pie recipes!

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think this is what I will be giving to all of my neighbors for Christmas this year.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>Ingredients:</strong></span><br />
<ul>
<li>5 well-ripened bananas</li>
<li>4 eggs</li>
<li>1/4 cup shortening</li>
<li>3/4 cup applesauce</li>
<li>2 cups sugar</li>
<li>1 tsp baking soda</li>
<li>2 tsp salt</li>
<li>4 cups flour</li>
</ul>
<strong>For the Icing:</strong><br />
<ul>
<li>1 cup brown sugar</li>
<li>5 Tbsp butter</li>
<li>1/3 cup whole milk</li>
<li>1/2 tsp maple flavor (up to 1 tsp for stronger flavor)</li>
<li>1 cup white chocolate chips</li>
</ul>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>Directions:</strong></span><br />
<ol>
<li>Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare pans with non-stick spray.</li>
<li>In mixer bowl, add eggs and beat well. Add bananas and beat until bananas are mashed and mixture is smooth. Add shortening, applesauce and sugar and combine. Add baking soda, salt and flour and mix well.</li>
<li>Bake in preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.</li>
<li>Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then remove to a wire rack to finish cooling.</li>
<li>While banana bread is baking, prepare the icing by adding the sugar, butter and milk to a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir constantly as it comes to a boil, 3-4 minutes. Continue stirring as the mixture boils for 1 minute. Remove from heat.</li>
<li>Add the white chocolate chips and maple flavor and stir until the chips are melted and the icing is smooth.</li>
<li>Pour slowly over the top of the bundt cakes, allowing it to drizzle down the sides. Cool and enjoy!</li>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To make you will need:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1 pkg Hash browns with peppers and onions </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
8 eggs</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
12 0z of breakfast sausage (not Links)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2 cups shredded cheese</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2 1/2 cups milk</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
salt and pepper to taste</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
9 X 13 baking pan</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Preheat oven to 375 degrees</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I make this the night before and refrigerate over night.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
* Cook the hash browns as per cooking directions on package.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
* Brown the sausage and crumble.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
* Grease 9 X 13 baking pan.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
* Lay cooked hash browns on the bottom of the baking pan.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
* Cover hash browns with 1/2 of the sausage.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
* Cover sausage with 1/2 of the cheese.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
* Combine the 8 eggs and 2 1/2 cups milk. whisk and pour evenly over the cheese.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
* Add remaining sausage evenly.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
* Cover with remaining cheese. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
* Salt and pepper.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
* At this point you can cover and put in fridge until morning. The in morning preheat over and just put into oven.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
* Bake at 375 degrees for 40 minutes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When done the top will be slightly brown and inside will feel firm when you poke it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I top it with more cheese, salsa and sour cream. And I serve it with fruit.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

I learned to make this in New Mexico from my extended family when my Grandfather passed away. Over the years I have changed the recipe to make it my own version. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: red; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"><strong>Warning</strong></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">: If you start making this, you will be asked to make it all of the time!

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Teen; font-size: small;">Directions:</span></h4>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">After preparing the pork roast in the crock pot* *(2-3 lb pork roast placed in crock pot with 1/4 cup soy sauce on low for 4-6 hours, you will be able to determine when the roast is done by pushing on it with a fork. When it falls apart it is done, shred with fork inside the crock pot so it absorbs the juices) After shredded add all of the ingredients. Stir well. Once everything is added make sure you add enough water to cover the hominy. Slow cook for 4-6 hours. You will be able to tell when it is ready when the hominy is soft. After it is cooked serve in bowls and add optional garnishes. I am attaching some pictures to help you see what seasonings you need and what the finished product should look like. Put the roast in crock pot night before on low when you wake up, shred the meat and add the rest of the ingredients. Turn crock pot to low and head out for a day of caching. When you return your house will smell so good and you will have a delicious warm dish to feed your hunger. </span><br />

<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; text-align: justify;">
Have all ingredients ready on counter. Use a small juice glass to cut a hole directly in the center of each piece of bread. (I use a glass that's 2 1/4 inches across, and save the holes from the bread to make whole wheat bread crumbs. You can also toast the holes and dip them in the egg.) </div>
<br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; text-align: start;" /><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; text-align: justify;">
Use a heavy frying pan large enough to hold both pieces of bread. Heat the pan for about 30 seconds over medium heat, brushing the pan with 1 tsp. olive oil. Add the pieces of bread and cook until one side is browned and toasted, about 2-3 minutes. Turn pieces of bread over.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; text-align: justify;">
Drizzle 1/2 tsp. of oil into the center of each piece of bread and immediately break an egg into the hole, being careful not to break the egg. Season eggs with salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste, then sprinkle each piece of bread with about 2 tablespoons of grated cheese. Cover pan and cook until cheese is melted, egg white is firm, and yolks are as done as you'd like them, about 3-4 minutes. (I cook mine for about 3 minutes in a cast iron pan for a slightly runny yolk.)</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; text-align: justify;">

<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; text-align: justify;">
Serve hot, with salsa drizzled over if desired.</div>

One of my favorite traditions is our Christmas morning breakfast. We make Finnan Haddie from my Danish ancestors and we also make Dutch Babies from my husband’s side of the family. If you aren’t familiar with Dutch Babies, they are also called German Pancakes and are a mix between crepes and pancakes — light and fluffy and delicious.</div>

We love to serve them with wedges of lemon, fresh berries, warm syrup and powdered sugar. (My mom gave me a handmade recipe book with all of our family recipes when I was first married and it’s where all of my family recipes are kept. It’s still one of my most treasured possessions.)</div>

<strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Instructions</strong></div>
<div id="zlrecipe-instruction-0" style="border: 0px; color: #606060; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Helvetica, Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add sausage, breaking up into bite sized pieces and cook until browned and cooked through. Add onions and cook until softened, about 6 minutes. Add garlic, oregano, and red pepper flakes. If you’re using <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">dried</em> basil, add it at this point. Cook for about a minute. Add tomato paste and stir well to incorporate.</div>
<div id="zlrecipe-instruction-1" style="border: 0px; color: #606060; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Helvetica, Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
Add diced tomatoes, bay leaves, and chicken stock. Stir to combine. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes. You can add the dry pasta to the soup in the last 8-ish minutes of cooking, or do as I prefer, and cook the pasta separately and add to individual servings. Right before serving, stir in fresh basil if you’re using fresh, and season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper.</div>
<div id="zlrecipe-instruction-2" style="border: 0px; color: #606060; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Helvetica, Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
In a small bowl, combine the ricotta, Parmesan, salt, and pepper.</div>
<div id="zlrecipe-instruction-3" style="border: 0px; color: #606060; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Helvetica, Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
To serve, place a generous dollop of the ricotta mixture in each soup bowl, add pasta if you cooked it separately, and ladle the hot soup over the cheese. Let it sit for a minute for the cheese to get all melty, sprinkle mozzarella on top if desired and eat up.</div>

<span style="font-family: arial;">We all really liked this soup---the kids ate a ton, and we have a bunch leftover. I made a big batch so we'd have leftovers in the freezer. I'd guess this serves 10.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: arial; font-weight: bold;">The Ingredients.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: arial;">--5 lbs potatoes, peeled and diced in 1 to 2-inch chunks</span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial;">--1 teeny onion, diced</span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial;">--4 cloves garlic, minced</span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial;">--1 teaspoon seasoned salt</span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial;">--1/2 teaspoon black pepper</span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial;">--1/2 teaspoon red pepper</span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial;">--2 quarts chicken broth</span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial;">--2 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, to add at the end</span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial;">--crumbled bacon and green onion or chives as garnish (optional)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: arial; font-weight: bold;">The Directions.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: arial;">Use a 6 quart or larger slow cooker. Peel and dice the potatoes, and put them into the stoneware. Add onion and garlic. Sprinkle in the seasonings, and pour in the broth. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours, or on high for 4. The potatoes should be fork-tender. You can use a potato masher to mash the potatoes in the soup, or a hand-held immersible blender. I suppose you can also leave the potatoes in chunks, if you really wanted, but I wanted a smooth soup.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: arial;">After smashing the potatoes, crumble in both packages of cream cheese, and put the lid back on. Cook on high for about 30 minutes, or until the cream cheese is completely dissolved. Stir a few times during the 30 minutes.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: arial;">Garnish with crumbled bacon, green onion or chives, and I'd assume cheddar cheese would be just delightful.</span></div>

Add vegetables to the stew and add more beef broth if low. Taste and re-season if needed. Cover and cook for 1 – 1 1/ 2 hours. If you want the stew to be thick, add a slurry of cornstarch and cold beef broth (mixing thoroughly) then pour into stew while it’s boiling, stir then reduce heat to low. Serve and enjoy!</div>
