We hope you’ve had a little extra time to prepare home-cooked meals lately, so once a month we’re sharing one of our teams’ family recipes and employee favorites with you.
This Strawberry Pie from Marketing Coordinator Candace Whitman is the perfect summer dessert. To continue the 4th of July celebration, you could even top it with blueberries to finish off the red, white, and blue look! You can also stash this recipe away for Labor Day.
"My mom made this recipe when she was in Home Economics class in school. She still has the recipe card in her recipe box from where she wrote it down in class when she was 15 years old. It was absolutely delicious and so pretty, too!"
