I found two pie recipes with cornmeal in the filling while going through my cookbooks today: pineapple-coconut chess pie and chocolate-pecan chess pie. Cornmeal isn't very common as an ingredient in pies; the two chess pie recipes are the first I've found so far. I'm looking forward to finding more!
Found a recipe that specifically calls for corn oil. Think this might be the first one that I've found in my books so far! Typically the recipes call for vegetable oil
All currently finished recipe zines that I've made so far. Each one has a full recipe inside
Out of the 8 apple varieties listed in this section only 3 are common in grocery stores today! Golden delicious, McIntosh, and red delicious

Normalize just posting a recipe with no backstory at all.
I took far too many photos of this confiding Ruby-crowned Kinglet. But, given how uncooperative these birds typically are, when you've got a good one, you take a life's-worth of photos, 'cause it may never happen again! #birds #birdphotography
