Pie & (Root) Beer Day

Monday was Pioneer Day here in Utah. Pioneer Day is an official state holiday that is celebrated on July 24th every year to commemorate the entry of Brigham Young and the first group of Mormon pioneers into Utah’s Salt Lake Valley in 1847 and celebrate the bravery of the original settlers. A few years ago […]

Tomorrow is National Pie Day, which is always a big celebration at our house, helped by the fact that it’s also my birthday. It helps that I am a pie addict and haven’t had birthday cake in years. It’s birthday pie for me all the way! So when I received a copy of Dinner Pies by Ken […]

Excitement is running high at our house. We are huge Star Wars fans at our house and are really looking forward to the new movie coming out next week. What better way to celebrate than with pie? So I whipped up a pie inspired by a character we all love to hate: Darth Vader. I […]

If you can believe it, Christmas morning is only 3 weeks away. I can’t quite believe it myself. Between now and then we will have school parties, work parties, shopping for presents, making presents, etc. I absolutely love this time of year and the magic of Christmas morning is hard to beat. When I was […]

Happy Friday Pie-Day! Thanksgiving is only 6 days away—are you as excited about it as I am? This year we are heading to my mother-in-law’s house for Thanksgiving dinner and one of the things we are in charge of is the pies. I think I’ve changed my pie plan about 4 times already. I just […]

HPS (Holiday Pie Season) is officially underway! So put away your Halloween decorations and pull out your pie plates people and let’s get baking! Over the next 5 months there is at least one holiday every month that calls for pie, kicking things off with the grand daddy of them all, Thanksgiving. You know how […]

Fee-fi-fo-fum, I smell the blood of an Englishman, Be he alive, or be he dead I’ll grind his bones to make my bread. I have very distinct memories from when I was a little girl of my dad saying this in his deepest gravely giant-like voice as he stopped down the hallway. We would run […]

I know it’s not Friday, but we’re talking pie today anyways! (I’m impatient, what can I say?!?) Actually, I’m sharing a pie recipe with you today because I filmed it on Studio 5 today, and the episode goes live this morning! This pie was inspired by the Brown Bag Baked Peach Pie that I wrote […]

It’s Pi(e) Day, one of my favorite days of the year! Please tell me that you’re celebrating? I whipped up a version of a pecan pie for our celebrations today using a combination that has been swirling around in my head for months—a chocolate almond crust that gets brownie-like as it soaks up some of […]

Happy 2015 everyone! I must say that I’m happy to greet the New Year and shoo out the old. The end of 2014 about did me in. The Sunday before Christmas the flu hit me like a wrecking ball, and I’ve been in bed ever since. Have you heard about the mutating influenza strains? Yeah, […]
