Indian Pudding
Indian Pudding is not hugely popular, especially in the Western United States. In fact, I bet you that most people have never heard of it. The recipe came from the North East – Maine, New Hampshire and Massachusetts. It is very easy to make and extremely low budget. When you put vanilla ice cream on top, it becomes a marriage made in heaven. If you ever get really cold and can’t seem to warm up, make this dish!

24 Hour Salad
There are many versions of this 24 Hour Salad. It's perfect to bring to a potluck. Up to 24 hours before you plan to serve the salad, layer a large bowl in the exact order given. I have learned 2 tricks from Martha Stewart over the years, one is how to hard boil an egg perfectly (bring eggs to a boil, boil for 1 minute, remove from heat and cover for exactly 13 minutes), the second thing is you pour the dressing in the bottom of a salad bowl, put the salad ingredients on top and toss right before serving. This is also a great way to bring a salad to a potluck.

Turkey Devonshire Sandwich
The Turkey Devonshire Sandwich, sometimes simply called a Devonshire, originated in the 1930s in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA. It is typically served as a hot open faced sandwich on toasted bread with hot turkey, bacon, tomatoes, and a cheese sauce. It was created by Frank Blandi (1907-1999), who first served them at The Stratford Club in Pittsburgh's Shadyside neighborhood.
