I have waxed poetic on this blog about pie before, but as a pie lover (we had a pie buffet at our wedding that upstaged our wedding cake), I am of the belief that enough good things can never be said about pie.
In the last four days, I have made five pies: three blueberry, one strawberry with oatmeal streusel, and one lemon meringue. We entertained, and then were guests twice, and I offered to bring dessert each time. The fruit just looked so good at the market where I go, so pie seemed like the obvious answer, plus I never seem to get tired of it. I think I’ve come up with t...

We had the grill going just about all day yesterday. I figured that I would try baking the pie on the grill (note: I used a metal pie plate...I personally wouldn't put glass on the grill). When the lid of a grill is closed, it is basically a large oven. I noticed our grill was at about 375 degrees (there is a thermostat on it) and we were waiting for the coals to come down in temperature to smoke some brisket. I figured in the meantime, I would put the hot coals to use. The pie came out great, and we even wrapped a few pieces in foil and threw them back on the grill to warm when we were ready for them. ...

When I was young my mom would go over the top when it came to Christmas baking. She would quite literally make two dozen types of cookies. Family and friends looked forward to her cookie trays which were a thing of legend. Now the funny this is that my mom hardly cared for the cookies herself. Instead, she preferred fruitcake. My sisters and I didn’t really ever care for it, even though it is deeply chocolately (think brownies) with lots of candied fruit and no citron.
As an adult, I now realize that mom made her fruitcake because she liked it. As preparation for the holidays gets crazy, it is important to do something just for you, ...

SWEET!
Little bitty pie pumpkins are packed with pure, sweet pumpkin flavor. Not at all stringy or tough, these roast up dense, tender and creamy for soup, or as a side dish, and for their highest and best use -- Pumpkin Pie! You can find pie pumpkins for a great price at farmers markets through Thanksgiving. I use them as decorations until I'm ready to cook (stacked outside the front door; piled on a side table). The colors speak Fall. Fresh pumpkin puree makes a huge difference in the flavor of a pumpkin pie and it's worth the very little effort it takes to make. (It's ...
