FALLBROOK – Pot pie makes for a delicious meal, especially when home cooks go the extra mile and prepare homemade pie crust. Although some may be intimidated by the idea of making their own pie crusts, the following recipe for "Turkey Vegetable Pot Pie with Whole-Wheat Crust" from Michelle Dudash's "Clean Eating for Busy Families," published by Fair Winds, simplifies the process. And since the recipe calls for turkey, the timing is perfect to use those Thanksgiving Day l...
The only problem having leftover ham after your holiday dinner is deciding which of several ways to use it for another delicious meal. My favorite use for bits of ham is on pizza, with pineapple of course. When I was growing up, my mother made ham and potato casserole to stretch the leftovers, layering slices of potato with small pieces of ham and a flour-based sauce and baking it in the oven. It was a lot of work for her, but we all loved eating it. For breakfast, choices...

Pumpkin pie gets the top billing at Thanksgiving, but I have a soft spot for sweet potato pie. Some people expect it to have a starchy texture, but the secret to making a really good one is to roast sweet potatoes with their skins on – protecting the flesh from drying out in the high heat –until the starches have broken down and deeply caramelized. The end result is a deeply satisfying custard pie with a molasses-y tang. Makes one 9-inch pie 2 medium sweet potatoes 2/3 cup...

I recently attended "first Sunday free" Gallery Day at the California Center for The Arts Campus in Escondido. Though "free is good," I can say that you will all want to go to this before it closes. It's a perfect chance for a Frida Kahlo fix. In fact, two "Frida's from Fallbrook" have become part of this exhibit thanks to local, but nationally known, artist Daniel F. Martinez. The exhibit is called "The World of Frida" and it came here from Walnut Creek. I made it a point to...
