Pies for Pi Day🥧


Hi Reader,

For Math Nerds (like ME!) you will appreciate that 3/14 is recognized as pi (π) day.

This is technically a mathematical constant that is the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter, which starts with 3.14--I could go on--but I don't think you want that😂

As a former Math Teacher and lover of food, what better way to celebrate this "math holiday" than to enjoy pie!

From sweet to savory, from complicated to easy, you will find a pie recipe, or two, to enjoy!

Pies for Pi Day🥧

  • Tamale Pie: This easy recipe features all the flavors you love about tamales from the creamy cornbread and rich to the seasoned meat in a quick and easy casserole.
  • Chicken Pot Pie: This Chicken Pot Pie recipe has been in my family for generations and it is simply the best! And while it may take a bit more effort to prepare, the results, and most importantly the taste, are well worth the extra effort.
  • Cherry Pie: Fresh or frozen cherries are combined with a sweet creamy custard and then baked with a buttery crumble topping creating a cherry pie no one can resist.
  • Dutch Apple Pie: What sets this pie apart from other apple pies is the buttery streusel topping. So good!
  • Blueberry Pie Bars: I love these blueberry bars so much! They have all the flavor of a creamy, blueberry pie without the need to prepare a pie crust.
  • Strawberry Pie Bars: Made with a buttery shortbread crust, a creamy strawberry filling, and an irresistible streusel, these easy bars are perfect for Spring (and Pi Day!)
  • Pie Crust: You can forget about pie crust for pie! This all-butter pie crust is the absolute best!

Happy Pi Day!

Happy Cooking!

Hi Reader, Tis the season for pasta salads! From picnics to potlucks to summer cookouts, nearly every summer meal benefits from a pasta salad. But the difference between good pasta salad and GREAT Pasta salad comes down to one crucial thing. Do NOT rinse your pasta after cooking. When you rinse pasta you remove the starch that allows the dressing or sauce to coat to the pasta. If you have had a flavorless pasta--chances are the pasta was rinsed! Do THIS instead. I recommend tossing a bit of...
