Everybody's Favorite- CORN PIE

 Corn Pie- Grace's Recipe (Mother got this recipe from a woman named Grace Kreider. She liked her corn pie.)

Bonnie and Tom Chesney brought me a Pie Bird from Eldreth Pottery, Strasburg, PA.
I had to try the Pie Bird by baking a pie.
The Corn Pie out of the oven.
I started thinking about Corn Pie as I walked by the fresh corn at the Corona del Mar Farmer's Market. 
Woodcut from Carol's Cookbook


Mother wrote the recipe for me.

Diane wrote the recipe for me.

                  Mother often made Corn Pie for Birthday's.  This one I made for Colin's Birthday!
Delicious if I may say so, I think it was the Pie Bird's help.

Empty Plate! I still have this Stangl Pottery from Trenton, N.J.
Mother, Aunt Lois, Aunt Mary and Aunt Nancy all had this pottery.

  1. I found a note I made while talking to Mother about Corn Pie.
    "I liked my Mother's corn pies but I like the neighbors pies better. Her name was Grace Kreider. Mother used to buy Grace Kreider's pies when she was working and I'd say I like this better.She had more eggs and no potatoes. Grace Kreider charged 50 cents for a pie. When corn was in season it was 1 cent an ear, 12 cents for a dozen. People had chickens and lots of eggs. Grace Kreider was married to Ezra Kreider. They lived in Cleona, PA."
