Guest Dianna Sheehy, August 11, 2025 (#205)

"I thought that pie was the only dessert that existed," notes Dianna Sheehy, Audubon, IA, as she chats about growing up on a dairy farm where fresh fruit from the garden or orchard was ripe and ready for pie baking.

Immerse yourself in this story of a doggone great nationally competitive pie baker--so great are her naturally developed baking skills that when she puts her hands into pie dough, yeast dough, or cookie dough, this multi-time Iowa State Fair Grand Champion baker creates products which, nine times out of 10, are unbeatable! Remember, folks, the Iowa State Fair Food Dept. is the largest of its kind in the USA. And, remember, too, that Iowa's competitive bakers are truly some of the most talented in the country! So, our guest is not competing with the "sisters of the poor." Dianna's 1950s' story includes so much more than baking. It's one you'll want to hear!
