eggnog chiffon pie
(1 RATING)
Back in the early 80s my Mother and I visited a garage sale while we were vacationing in Fort Bragg/Mendocino California. We purchased a slice of pie that was out of this world delicious then begged the recipe from the wonderful cook. As luck would have it, the reipe was part of her churchs' cookbook so we both purchased the cookbook. Mother made this pie at every holiday and there were never any leftovers. She is still cooking in Roseburg Oregon at the age of 82 and in my opinion is the best cook in the whole world. love you Mommy.
