Just thought it'd be fun to raid the recipe stash and share 7 recipes all at once. There are a mix of desserts and entrees in this batch. Mmmmm, blueberry cobbler sounds awfully good this time of year, especially with a scoop of ice cream. I am glad to include a recipe for "Pear Pie" here, I think the lowly pear is not given nearly enough respect. Apples are wonderful but, really, is there much better than a soft, delicious, juicy pear? Never been sure why pears don't get more respect. The baked corn pudding sounds delicious also. I've not sampled that recipe, but I love corn this time of year. These recipes come from several different Amish communities and cooks, so enjoy!
