Fresh Blueberry Pie

Oh my gosh, I've never eaten blueberry pie before. And it is so sweet and who  doesn't love a fresh blueberry? Anyway, this is a really simple pie to put  together and I bet anyone could do it. Just mix blueberries, sugar, corn starch and cinnamon... Pour into the pie  crust  and bake.

This pie turned out very well. But  sometimes when I make a lattice crust I mess up and crimp the edges of the crust before I add the  lattice  on top. So I cheated and just  added it to the center.

It turned out so  well, I licked the plate!

Lemon Chess Pie with Coconut Crust

This Lemon Chess pie turned out super delicious and divine!! It used 3 fresh lemons. It used the juice and the zest. It was so fresh smelling and citrusy. I do believe this is one of the best tasting pies I've ever made. This is also a new coconut crust recipe that I wanted to try. It's just coconut, gram cracker, sugar and butter. The coconut crust paired really well with the lemon filling. But I had to figure out how to use the coconut crust with a filling that needed to bake for 45 minutes. Because normally the crust would only bake for 10 minutes. So I decided to put tin foil over the edge of the crust from the beginning of baking to the end. This worked really well. And even though the crust was covered, it baked for so long that it browned up a little bit anyway.

Peppermint Chocolate Cream Pie... mmm

I made this pie very recently for the first time. And everyone loved it so much I was asked to make it again. It's a very fun pie to make because the custard is made on the stove top. It takes about twenty minutes of constant stirring to get the custard to set up. And then I have a lot of fun making chocolate shavings, and eating the rest of the chocolate bar that I don't shave... lol...

Bacon, Cheddar, Tomato, Mushroom, Jalapeno Quiche!

I made a quiche. I forgot to put heavy cream in the egg mixture, but it still turned out really delicious! I just put ingredients that I felt like eating in it. I also used a butter crust that a friend gave me. And it was really tasty but it crumbled too easily and it was hard to cut a piece out of the pie without the crust crumbling all over the table.

Chocolate Peppermint Cream Pie

Holy Moly this pie is delicious! I made a stovetop custard and added unsweetened chocolate. Then I added a teaspoon of peppermint extract. I made this pie for my manager Bella and she was just yearning for a chocolate peppermint pie. I bet she wants it to taste like junior mints, and this comes pretty close. I also made a homemade graham cracker crust with crackers, brown sugar and butter. After you bake the crust it smells like heaven.
