Peach Blueberry Pie

August 15, 2011

Before you roll your eyes, and dismiss this dessert as something that’s too complicated for you… something that’s out of your skill set… something that you simply don’t have the time or energy for… please. Just give me a minute. Everyone should know how to make a pie. If you know how to make pie, [...]

Almost No-Bake Pumpkin Cream Pie with Maple Whipped Cream

November 23, 2010

I feel like Thanksgiving is an experiment in just how many things you can jam into your oven in a two day period. Turkey. Other birds. Stuffing. Yams. Green beans. Pie. Cakes. Owls. Ash trays. Lasagna. Kittens. Ravioli. Squashes. I mean…. Seriously. That’s a full oven. Because I only want to partially horn in on [...]

A November Reminder

November 4, 2010

Starbucks switched their paper cups to their festive holiday cups. That can only mean one thing: it’s time for Dad’s Sweet Potato Pie with Easy No-Roll Pie Crust. Two random notes: ps. Pumpkin Spice Lattes are weeeeird. pps. I like coffee that tastes like coffee, not pie.

How To Make Pie Crust… do it.

June 30, 2010

We’ve talked about pie crust before, you and I. I thought today might be a good day for a little refresher. The breeze outside is mighty fine, the sun seems pretty friendly, I’ve got chilled butter in the fridge, and… tomorrow I want to show you how to make a double crusted berry pie… so [...]

How To Make Apricot Crostatas

June 7, 2010

These are my Mom’s hands. They’re two parts lady lumber jack, one part awesome raiser of children, and three parts amazing gardener. That’s six parts total. Arbitrary… I know. I love Mom hands… they tend to have super knowledge. I taught my mamabear how to make Apricot Crostatas. Pie dough. Egg wash. Wait. Not so [...]

Berry Cobbler Pie Bars

May 4, 2010

We’re all friends here, right? I can tell you things. I can tell you things like… how I put sour cream on just about everything that I ate yesterday. Sour cream on my granola. Sour cream on eggs. Sour cream on kale. Sour cream in my dessert. Sour cream… everywhere. I feel a little guilty.. [...]

Strawberry Banana Cream Pie

April 10, 2010

It’s Spring! I know because I’ve busted out my hippie print wrap skirt and I’ve got the last of the Cadbury Cream Eggs in my mouth at this very moment. Thank goodness I’ve reached the end of the Easter candy… my thighs are angry with me… or angry with my tight fitting jeans… I can’t [...]

What to do with all that Buttermilk

April 7, 2010

If you’ve been around these parts long enough, you’ve probably noticed that I’m pretty fond of buttermilk. Buttermilk brings the tang, brings a tender texture… and is all around awesome in baking. But once you buy the carton for one recipe, what the heck are you supposed to do with the rest [...]

Apple Pie Granita

July 20, 2009

I like you. I like you a lot. I mean it… and I don’t think I’ve told you in a while. Sweet. I’m glad you’re here. Would now be a good time to tell you that I have a serious, though not lasting, aversion to my kitchen these days? I have an even more serious [...]

Peanut Butter Banana Cream Pie

February 18, 2009

Pie takes time. Pie requires attentions. Pie demands love and care. Pie, even for an everyday baker like me, is a lost art. I needed a good, old fashioned, pie contest to help me slow down, take a breath, and dream up the most delicious pie I could. The most delicious thing I could dream [...]

With Love, Apple Pie

November 29, 2008

I want to show you how to bake a pie. I’ve got step by step pictures. I’ve got instructions. I’ve got encouraging words. I’ll even hold your hand if you need me to. This isn’t anything to be scared of… but I do have a secret. See, there’s a secret to making the best apple [...]

Don’t Worry, I’ll Find It.

November 24, 2008

This weekend, I went to Oakland, smiled a lot, sat in a tree and ran over a tumble weed at high speeds. I wanted to sit down today and tell you about pie… about pie that’s so full of love and goodness it might make your heart explode. I’ve got the pictures, I’ve got the [...]

Buttermilk Pie with Blackberry Sauce

August 3, 2008

Update: I just got a lovely note from Barbara Duke, one of the authors of Panache at Rose Hill. Here’s what she has to say about this lovely pie! Hi Joy: I’m Evan’s Mimi. Just a little info about the buttermilk pie. When our great, great grandmothers were traveling in those covered wagons, they had [...]

Yes, there’s pie under all that goodness.

March 28, 2008

Ok everyone… take a deep breath. It’s time for pie! This beast of a pie is Peabody’s Grandmother’s Lime Conspiracy Pie with marshmallows. It is a result of the convergence of several things in my mind and in my pantry. A friend mentioned a pie topped with tiny colorful marshmallows. Sounds like a great idea, [...]

Russian Grandmothers’ Apple Pie Cake

March 10, 2008

The title to both this post and this dessert is a little hum drum. Russian Grandmothers’ Apple Pie Cake… it just doesn’t set off fireworks in my head. And frankly, I always feel a bit off put when apostrophes are in strange places (here I am considering s’ strange). I was an English major in [...]
