Lard Pie Crust is a wonderfully flaky crust that reminds me of the days of eating my Aunt France’s pies at every family occasion.

The History of the Wreath

12 inch roundIn the history of the wreath, the word Wreath comes from the Old English word, Writhen, which means to writhe or twist. The history of the wreath notes that ancient Romans and Greeks used wreaths of evergreens to adorn the head of Olympic athletes, kings and heroes.
