    I am going to try the Peach Hand Pies. Peach is my favorite fruit and I fondly remember my Dad making peach crisp with canned peaches and Bisquick.
    I also want this cookbook as my best friend (my Mom called her the 5TH daughter) is from Kentucky and I have visited several times and believe me they know how to cook and I only eat seafood or chicken (no other meat do I eat) and I never went hungry!
