Mildred grew up on a farm at Beckton, Kentucky. Later she moved to Glasgow where she married Dr. John Dickinson. She cooked both traditional meals and experimented with new ideas, developing a repertoire of recipes that have inspired us.

Grasshopper Pie



Mildred got this recipe from Jean Beaman Walker, mother of her son-in-law Henry. It became a favorite recipe for her.

2 c. miniature marshmallows
1/3 c. half and half
3 or 4 T. creme de menthe
2 or 3 T. creme de cacao
1 c. whipping cream
green food coloring, if desired

Dissolve the marshmallows in the half and half in a double boiler over hot water, stirring constantly. Cool slightly, then stir in the creme de menthe and cacao and cool completely.
Whip the cream and fold into the cooled mixture.
Pour into a chocolate crumb crust.
