Apple Pi! AKA 3.14159265 of deliciousness

I am a sucker for fruity pie, but unfortunately pie crusts are a giant pain in the patootey. A homemade flaky pie crust is delightful, but is a giant pain to make if you are lazy like I am. I’ve never used a pie crust mix before, so I picked up a Jiffy pie crust [...]

Nestle Toll House Chocolate Chip Pie…Of Joy!

So this past Christmas I received, amongst other things, a Nestle Toll House cookbook. This was yet another cookbook to add to the growing pile of cookbooks I’ve either received as gift, won, or bought on impulse, yet rarely made anything from. So, I’m trying to be better about actually using said cookbooks, rather than [...]

What to do with all that leftover pie crust dough

So it was Pi day recently. March 14th, to be precise. To celebrate, I made pi. Or pie, rather. Pies, actually, two of them. And you’d think that this post would be about said pies, but no. It’s about what I did with the leftover dough from making said pies. Growing up, I ate these [...]

Burbley Chocolate Pecan Pie

So I found myself just sitting around one day, trying to think a really efficient way to get as many calories into my stomach as possible. The answer was obvious: chocolate pecan pie. I am a sucker for chocolate pie of any variety, and it is nothing but a bonus to have pecans added to [...]

Lets celebrate Pi Day with some chocolate cream pi (err pie)!

Pie is a beautiful thing. So is pi, for that matter. Which is why it’s so convenient that I can celebrate both on the same day! Chocolate cream pie is an especially beautiful thing. It’s a “maximum delicious for minimum effort” kind of pie, which I greatly appreciate. I had a pie crust I bought [...]

Apple Pie-tastic

I have been inundated with apples lately. This is not a problem, as I can always find useful things to do with apples. They can make excellent ammunition as well as juggling materials. I decided to try out that whole ‘eating’ thing this time around, though, to see where it’d take me. So I made [...]
