Grandmommie’s Oatmeal Pie

Chocolate Chip Pie
I adapted this recipe from one my roommate, Mary S., used to make when we were in college! Served with vanilla ice cream, it’ll satisfy all your deep-seated chocolate and sweet cravings! The beans make the top a bit crustier than I remember, but it was still the pie my kids devoured first. –Mellyn
Great Pumpkin Cookies
Delicious and reasonably healthy — these are chocolate chip cookies Charlie Brown (and every other kid) will love. As the Mom I love them, too. They freeze well, and (dare I admit?!) we ate them for breakfast last week. Picky boy was all about that! – Mellyn
Pumpkin Oatmeal
One cool, fall evening I was craving pumpkin. Up until then I usually filled my pumpkin cravings by making pumpkin cookies or pumpkin roll.

It also inspired me to look at pumpkin as a healthy food — not just dessert.
