Here's the last amazing Nona Thompson recipe! 100 year old pie crust + cranberry raisin pie filling recipe

http://www.family-meal.com/blog/2014/3/19/7dikl10o6xxjc5oszw2xndosipnllh by Nona Thompson

This recipe was given to me by my fabulous supervising teacher in 1966. I
student-taught on the Maine coast, and Tina, my supervisor, was the wife of
a lobster man and knew every old Maine recipe there was. She had an
indomitable, generous spirit that imprinted my young spirit, and I am ..

Chicken Lasagna http://www.family-meal.com/blog/2014/4/8/chicken-lasagna

While I can't recall the origination of this recipe, this recipe has become
a staple in our family for large group functions. It's a great twist on
your traditional lasagna, and I like that it doesn't contain tomato sauce.

Oreo Truffles http://www.family-meal.com/blog/2014/4/8/ayjp4obrd3kl47e5h0t91hv3yo8l81 by Beth Meyer

Ahh, Oreo truffles! I can still remember the first time my sister-in-law
Beth brought these to our home. I am a chocolate lover, and as I took my
first bite into this truffle, I couldn't help but think, "I have finally
found my perfect guilty pleasure." These are rich so I highly recommend
s...

Mango & Avocado Salad http://www.family-meal.com/blog/2014/4/6/mango-avocado-salad by Laura Meyer

In excitement for warmer weather and summer fruits and veggies, this mango
and avocado salad is one of my favorite sides. It's incredibly simple, and
while only a few ingredients, the flavors are rich when mixed together.
This recipe can be adjusted by putting it over a bed of arugula or chopp...

Truly the best chocolate chip cookie ever Chocolate Chip Cookies http://www.family-meal.com/blog/2014/4/2/chocolate-chip-cookies

This recipe is truly from Jacques Torres, but I first had an adaption baked
by Maisie Wilhelm. My mind was blown. How could I have been missing out on
the prefect chocolate chip cookie for 28 years? The most important part of
Maisie's recipe is included below:

* Don't skimp on the choco...

Real Deal Cheese Cake http://www.family-meal.com/blog/2014/2/13/2nrx5cgs5aibalmudgf3wnlw4c8bdf by Maeve Brady

This is another Brady family favorite. It's pretty labor intensive, and
being an awesome daughter, its the cake I would request every year for my
birthday.

This recipe originates from my mother's high school home economic cookbook
in Ireland. They might not have had much, but damn if they d...

Rich & Charlie's Salad http://www.family-meal.com/blog/2014/3/16/rich-charlies-salad by Laura Meyer

While not a family recipe, it might as well be as this recipe is taken from
the St. Louis Italian restaurant, Rich & Charlie's. This restaurant is a
mere blocks from my home, and I can remember biking in their parking lot as
a kid.

The key to the great taste is in the dressing.
