Grandma 'Mimia's' Snail Pie with Spinach and Herbs 💚
My favorite pie!!! 💚💚💚 Grandma 'Mimia' Dimitra, from Chania with roots in Asia Minor, only made this pie!!! So, we didn't call it spinach pie or herb pie or... For us, it was always the twisted pie, like a snail!!! Without cheese, without sautéing the vegetables!!! The only secret is lots of finely chopped herbs, pressed tightly to remove the moisture, and a bit of pepper!!! Everyone who has seen and tasted it has been thrilled!!! 😋😋😋 Simplicity at its finest!!!💚💚💚 You just can't stop.😉😉😉 Of course, I've also made it with ricotta in the filling, which is equally delicious!!! (I'll come back with better photos because I had little time when I made it and 'my photographer'—no names mentioned—didn't have the right patience.😦😦😦 hahaha!!!!)

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Clean, wash, and finely chop all the vegetables. Don't chop the spinach too finely. After letting them drain, place the colander in a bowl and press them with your hands to reduce their volume and extract all their juices. Once reduced by half, pour out the juice and transfer the greens to the bowl. Add the rice, spices, and oil, and mix with a spoon.
- 2
Prepare the dough. In a bowl, combine all the ingredients and gradually add water while kneading. You will definitely need more flour. The dough should be pliable. Form a ball, cover it with a towel, and let it rest for 30 minutes. It won't rise because it doesn't contain yeast. After half an hour, divide it into small balls, about the size of oranges, and cover them.
- 3
Transfer one ball at a time to your board and roll it out, initially pressing with your fingers and then using a rolling pin or dowel with a little flour or cornstarch, until you create a thin, even sheet. Choose the longest side and spread the filling with a spoon to create a line of filling. Start twisting and folding the dough inward.
- 4
Continue along the entire length.
- 5
Use a serrated knife to cut in front of the fold you've made. Slightly fold the edges with your hands. Move the completed roll to your oiled baking pan. If it's too long, fold it slightly in the middle, holding it with one hand in the middle and the other at the ends.
- 6
Start from the center and spiral the rolls. Where one ends, begin the next. I use the thin baking sheet from the oven. For the corners, use shorter rolls. Here, I had less filling and it wasn't enough... (I put the remaining dough in a bag in the fridge and used it the next day...) Once finished, sprinkle the pie with water.
- 7
Bake on the bottom rack at 350-400°F (180-200°C) on the bake setting for 30-40 minutes until golden and it releases from the bottom when you shake the pan. Pull out the roll you want and enjoy a unique, delicious pie!!! Believe me, half of it disappears immediately.!!! No need for refrigeration because it doesn't contain cheese or eggs...

Spinach Pie Spinach Pie
This dish is perfect for breakfast, lunch or dinner.I love spinach. The first time I made this because I was given a bunch of free spinach from a grocery store tossing it out. The amount of flour may be adjusted next time I make it. It may need a little more. I may toss in a few mushrooms next time. If 2 pies are too many, you can freeze one for another time. The spices are optional. I'm Cajun so everything must have some spice!

Grandma Betty's Pumpkin Pie Grandma Betty's Pumpkin Pie
This pumpkin pie recipe from my Mom is a traditional dish for Thanksgiving at my house, so it's gotta be right! This pie uses a homemade crust that you don't have to pre-bake, which is a great time-saver.This recipe is for a 9-inch pie. I always use a glass (Pyrex) pie plate, which helps the pie cook more evenly.I strongly recommend using fresh pumpkin, if you can: Get 1 or 2 sugar pumpkins, cut them in half, clean out the seeds and strings. Then cook them in a tray, skin side up with a bit of water at 325 for about 30 minutes or until tender. Scrape out the pumpkin flesh and blend in a food processor, then put the mash in a strainer or cheese cloth, cover and let drain overnight to get rid of the extra water. If you have extra, stick in the freezer for later use (more pie!).

Nonna Nella's Sunshine Pie Nonna Nella's Sunshine Pie
Adapted from "Seasonal Family Almanac: Recipes, Rituals, and Crafts to Embrace the Magic of the Year," by Emma Frisch. Though Emma’s mother’s passion for food stems from her Italian heritage, a few foods from her British roots stuck around. One of them is lemon curd, a sweet and tart, creamy gold spread that screams sunshine. This celebration pie, complete with ripe summer berries and edible flowers, is an ode to the sun. Make it a summer tradition to collect decorations and bake this pie together with your family. Use maple syrup for a slightly sweeter crust, or water for a milder base, as the filling doesn’t skimp on sweet!
