### **Nana Used to Make These by the Dozen — and Freeze Them for Later!**
There are some recipes that live in the heart long after they’ve left the plate. The kind that smell like love, sound like laughter in a warm kitchen, and taste like home. For many of us, that recipe is whatever **Nana made by the dozen** — then tucked away in the freezer for a rainy day, a surprise visit, or “just in case someone’s hungry.”
Whether it was pillowy dinner rolls, savory meat pies, or sweet hand-held fruit turnovers, Nana’s make-ahead freezer meals weren’t just practical — they were *legendary*.
Today, we’re bringing that tradition back with this classic, make-ahead family favorite: **Old-Fashioned Savory Hand Pies** — flaky, golden pastries filled with seasoned beef and veggies, just like Nana used to make.
