Ozarks Alive

It's the little moments that make life really sweet.
One of those happened this week, when I ran into a lady who purchased "The Ozarks Pie Project Diary” cookbook. She told me that she'd made the oatmeal pie many times, and just loved it.
There have been other moments like that, too. I didn't create these recipes — they came from others via vintage Ozarks cookbooks — but it makes me so happy to help elevate these recipes to bring joy to people's lives today.
That said, I'm curious: For those of you who have the cookbook, which pies have you tried? Are there ones that you really enjoy?
And, of course, I want to remind everyone that copies of the cookbook are still available. They contain 48 sweet pie recipes from vintage Ozarks cookbooks, as well as stories of bakers and how food brings us together. A link to the book is in the comments.

Since the 1970s, Terra Studios has developed as a whimsical, artistic destination — one made famous by the glass "Bluebirds of Happiness" — in rural Northwest Arkansas. Today, visitors are welcome to the six-acre art park with installations (like these friendly creatures), consider how art and nature fuse together, and shop wares from local artisans in its gallery.
I recently made my first visit to Terra Studios and had to write about it. Find a link to the story in the comments!
