RIP Aunt V, your pies were delicious & fondly remember. And I also miss you bringing us sweet potatoes from East Texas. The store prices are too high. The thumbnail is one of my recipe folders that contains written, cut-out, & printed recipes since 2004. When my life is over (no time soon, I hope), I don't know who I will leave them with. But always remember if you ask me how to make something, I checked there first. LoL Again below leave a dish that you learned to make some the recipe wouldn't die.
