Natchitoches Meat Pies are at the top of my list of dinner foods. My kids ask for them, that's why. When that happens, whatever it is goes on the permanent menu. The pie crust is so flaky and just makes it taste so good. They aren't hard to make, so give them a try. Thanks to Our Best Bites for sharing these. They are a winner.

Short Stack Cookies
I love an author by the name of Joanne Fluke. She writes these great books that are known as culinary mysteries. They are mysteries with some kind of cooking, baking, etc. in the storyline.
