Happy Pi(e) Day!

It’s no secret if you look through my recipe archives that pie is my favorite dessert. I didn’t even realize it myself until I started this blog! Pie has the best parts of any treat–flaky, crispy, delicious crust (perfectly good on its own sprinkled with cinnamon sugar); juicy, fruity filling (or chocolate or custard or chicken or vegetables or potatoes). Pie is totally healthy for you (see: fruit, vegetables) and perfectly acceptable as breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

In case you’re looking for a pie treat today or this weekend, check these out:

Coconut Custard Pie Perfect right now, no fresh fruit needed, and super fast and easy to make.

Perfection, if I say so myself

Plum Chutney Crumble Pie It’s like plum chutney and pie had the most delicious baby.

      1. Uncle Dave has it right, you’ve given us a taste for pie and they all look delicious. (isn’t there a saying the men don’t eat quiche?) I don’t think Uncle Dave will be there for brunch as Cynthia has to work on Sunday so they’ll be leaving early.

      2. THAT’S NOT THE PIE I’M LOOKING FOR, MORE LIKE THE CHERRY, APPLE OR JUST A CHOCOLATE PUDDING PIE, LOL
