Fall is my favorite season.  I love the crisp, cool mornings, the bright colors on the trees and, of course, going apple picking!  [...]]]> http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/perfect-apple-pie-60.htm/feed 1 http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/lemon-coconut-cream-pie-70.htm http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/lemon-coconut-cream-pie-70.htm#comments Sun, 11 May 2008 22:59:14 +0000 Dawn http://www.demeo-web.com/wordpress/?p=70             I got this recipe from a co-worker years ago. I think his roommate’s girlfriend – or something like that -was a chef…or maybe just studying to be one. It’s been so long I really don’t remember. (He he!) At any rate, she came up with this fabulous recipe. It has a wonderfully [...]]]> http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/lemon-coconut-cream-pie-70.htm/feed 0 http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/blueberry-pie-89.htm http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/blueberry-pie-89.htm#comments Sat, 05 Apr 2008 14:13:22 +0000 Dawn http://www.demeo-web.com/wordpress/?p=89       Updated Sorry for the lack of posts lately.  I’ve had the flu and haven’t felt much like cooking or writing.  I’ve taken the time to make a few changes to the site, though.  Some are updates on the back end, so you probably won’t notice those.  There is also an alphabetical recipe index to make [...]]]> http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/blueberry-pie-89.htm/feed 3 http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/chocolate-banana-cream-pie-279.htm http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/chocolate-banana-cream-pie-279.htm#comments Fri, 14 Mar 2008 11:19:31 +0000 Dawn http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/chocolate-banana-cream-pie-279.htm In honor of Pi Day (3.14…nyuk nyuk!) I’m sharing one of my dirty little secrets with you. Here’s a pie that requires no cooking or baking whatsoever, but still tastes fabulous! If you burn the water trying to make tea, you can still make this pie. Hey, even I need a break from cooking now [...]]]> http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/chocolate-banana-cream-pie-279.htm/feed 3 http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/individual-lemon-meringue-tarts-249.htm http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/individual-lemon-meringue-tarts-249.htm#comments Mon, 28 Jan 2008 16:15:28 +0000 Dawn http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/individual-lemon-meringue-tarts-249.htm This is my second Daring Bakers challenge recipe, and I’m happy to say it was another success! I’ve never tasted meringue before, much less tried my hand at making it. It smells like angel cake when it’s baking and has a very similar flavor. The lemon curd was perfect – not too tart, not to [...]]]> http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/individual-lemon-meringue-tarts-249.htm/feed 38 http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/apple-caramel-nut-tarts-218.htm http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/apple-caramel-nut-tarts-218.htm#comments Mon, 03 Dec 2007 12:50:38 +0000 Dawn http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/apple-caramel-nut-tarts-218.htm I recently bought some tart pans for the simple fact that I think anything in mini-size is cute: mini pies, mini cookies, mini puppies…you get the idea. Now I had to decide what to make with them. I thought of pecan tarts first, but thought that was over done. Then I thought of making onion [...]]]> http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/apple-caramel-nut-tarts-218.htm/feed 1 http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/disneys-50s-prime-time-cafe-chicken-pot-pie-75.htm http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/disneys-50s-prime-time-cafe-chicken-pot-pie-75.htm#comments Sun, 04 Nov 2007 04:46:35 +0000 Dawn http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/disneys-50s-prime-time-cafe-chicken-pot-pie-75.htm Updated Source: Mickey’s Gourmet Cookbook (modified by Dawn DeMeo) Seems like I haven’t made this in quite a while! My husband was so impressed with it. I thought for sure I’d made it for him before, I guess I hadn’t.
