Recipe For Friendly's Hot Fudge
I am looking for a recipe for the Hot Fudge they have at Friendly's Restaurants in the Northeast. I love that stuff, but live in Missouri and they don't have Friendly's out here.

Recipe for Sticky Buns Using Rich's Roll Dough
I used to have a recipe years ago for making Sticky Buns using Rich's Roll Dough. The package has little balls of dough in it. You prepare it the night before, and put it in a cold oven until morning and then you bake it. It is made in a bundt pan. They come out really good. Unfortunately, I lost the recipe. Does anyone have a recipe like this? Thanks.

Peach Pie
This is just about our favorite peach pie recipe. A dear friend in the Amish community gave it to me years ago and we have it every time the peaches are ripe.
Fill a raw pie shell half full of fresh, sliced, ripe peaches. Sprinkle 3/4 cup brown sugar evenly over peaches. Stir 2 Tbsp. flour into a cup of thick, heavy cream and pour over the peaches and sugar. Sprinkle cinnamon over the cream and bake at 350 degrees F until the peaches are soft and the custard is set, at least 40 minutes to an hour, depending on the oven and the peaches.

Roast Your Own Green Chilies
This is the time of year to purchase fresh roasted green chilies, but why have someone else roast something you can do yourself so easily?
Here's how: In the evening or morning when it's cooler, wash and air dry fresh chilies. My favorite is the Anaheim variety, but this works for all of the chilies. Preheat your oven to 500 degrees. Lay the chilies across your oven rack, with 1/2 inch in between each one. Let them roast in the oven for 20-30 minutes, or until chilies are black on most of their surfaces. You can turn the chilies over halfway through the roasting. Cover cookie sheets with heat-proof plastic wrap. Using tongs place the blackened chilies on the wrapped cookie sheets. Let them steam and cool, around 30 minutes. Put the cooled pans into the freezer. After they have frozen, stack the chilies into freezer bags. Remove as needed.
The skins will slip off by simply putting the frozen chilies under hot water. The taste of these are SO much better than anything you can take out of a can. Enjoy!
