Pillow Talk—Friday Pie-Day

It’s Friday Pie-Day! Friday is turning into my favorite day of the week because, well, pie! Today’s pie isn’t actually a pie I have tasted, but it’s on my wish list.

Pie is my thing. I happen to have been born on National Pie Day. Every year for my birthday when my mom asked what I wanted to have for my birthday cake, I would inevitably request something in a crust—maybe a cheese cake (BTW, why do they call it cake? That has always bugged me) […]

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 […]

Life has been hectic around here. I’ve been filling life with things like teaching cooking classes at one of Harmons Grocery cooking schools, volunteering at the Fujilings’ elementary school, driving the girls to and from piano and dance lessons, etc. I looked at my planner the other day and thought, “Who got a hold 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, […]

This post is brought to you by Harmons Grocery. Summer is the best time for pie making because of the bounty nature offers: cherries, peaches . . . Oh who am I kidding? In my book there are 4 pie seasons: summer, fall, winter, and spring! So to rephrase, summer pie season is fantastic because stone […]

If you had told me 6 months ago that a chocolate dessert that was free of gluten, dairy, and refined sugars could be as decadent as its gluten, dairy, and refined sugar full counterpart, I would have politely nodded and totally not have believed you. But in the past few months I have taken my preconceived […]

Today is a special day in my family, for several reasons. It is Pi Day, or when it comes to my mom’s side of the family, Pi(e) Day. (My family is very fond of food celebrations, although International Eat Ice Cream for Breakfast Day may be the most popular). For the mathematicians of the family, it is the […]

I am super sad to see Pie Week come to a close. So sad, in fact, that you may just start seeing a pie a month around here. Plus, we have Pi(e) Day to look forward on March 14th, so all is not lost! As National Pie Day comes to a close, marking the end […]

Happy National Pie Day! To celebrate today, I thought it would be appropriate to share a recipe from the woman who brought me into this world. My mom and I made this pie, a White Chocolate, Orange, and Raspberry dream, when we were visiting for Christmas. I have many memories of watching my mom make […]
