VFW St. Patties Pot Luck Pie

PI made this peanut butter cream pie for the VFW. The bartender liked it!

Apple Pie for a favor

So a client of my company is going to fix our metal lawn ornament. It is a snowman made out of propane tanks. He holds a beer, smokes a cigar and is smiling. But his cigar fell out of his mouth and I had nothing to weld it back on with. 

So this yummy apple pie is for the man assigned to the task of doing it.

Pi Day Pie

Happy Pi Day everyone! I made my favorite chocolate custard pie to celebrate the day.

Cherry Pie for Kevin

So we have had a boarder for the last couple of months. Kevin has been a really fun roommate and Rob and I are going to miss him dearly. So of course, I made him a cherry pie.

I've tried to make fresh cherry pie in the past and I was never really a fan of it. So this time I used canned cherries and the pie turned out really sweet and pretty. The next time I use canned cherry pie filling I will doctor it a little with cornstarch because it's a bit runny when you cut a slice.

An apple pie for my nerds!

So this weekend I made an apple pie from Martha Stewart's Pies and Tarts cookbook. Every Tuesday the nerds we fight with get together to do arts and crafts so I thought I would make them a pie to try to make friends. Because who doesn't like pie? Well, unless you're on a diet.

Anyway, I made one big apple pie and two small pies for my sweet roommates.

Sally's Apple Pie

Today I visited my grandma Ruby in Alta, IA. She was the reason I started making pie. She didn't have any pie during our visit, but her neighbor lady Sally brought over this delicious slice of apple pie made from the apples on the tree at her farm. It was delicious. The apples were cut very thinly which let all of the butter, cinnamon and sugar melt in.

Sweet as Pie
