This French silk pie method came to me as I was falling asleep. The next day I called my mom and asked her if she thought it’d work. She said, “Well, if it doesn’t work it’ll still be tasty, so just eat it.” I said, “But there’s only one of me!” So there ya go. I’d like portable pie in my life always. Because who knows when you’ll need to drive a car with a…
My sister Laura visited this weekend. We bought blueberries at Eastern Market with this tart in mind. We assembled it between backyard beers and impromptu pizza eating. This is a casual tart. It always wears jeans, and never goes in the oven. P.S. I’ve made this tart before strawberry-style. I hadn’t thought of putting blubeberries and goat cheese together until Cindy mentioned these awesome hand pies she made. OMG. She knows things. Blueberry Goat Cheese Tart…
I’ve eaten this pie my whole life. It’s my favorite. So I just needed to make it again to chase away the rainy blues in the mitten. I also used to order this when my family would go to Baker’s Square. Once, when they didn’t have it and I cried and they gave me free pie. (I was a kid! So what!) Basically, this is the go-to dessert for my whole family. My mom, sisters, and…
My mom knows about pie. She knows that it’s ok to use 8 cups of peaches instead of 5, and she didn’t judge me for not having a pastry blender. She also said that it’s ok if a pie is juicy and doesn’t slice as pretty as you’d hope. “Just serve it in a bowl,” she says. So there you go. We went to Eastern Market Saturday morning to get all those Michigan peaches up…
I’ve been trying to wake up early and go to the gym. I’ve been trying to go to the gym AND walk Elliot. But sometimes my ipod’s battery is dead and sometimes it’s pouring rain. So, you know what? I’m going to eat a cheesecake bite. Maybe I’ll even have 2. All those gym intentions are making me hungry. Sometimes when it’s somebody’s birthday that you think is super cool and they love cheesecake you…
Mix up and refrigerate the pie crust. Run to the store and get more butter. Maybe get some heavy whip for vanilla whipped cream. Maybe the sales associates will assume you’re a very unhealthy person. Maybe they think you’re weird for getting giant bacon dog treats along with the fatty goodness. For sure you get home and finish the making home made pie and the joke’s on them. Don’t forget to “cheers!” your first bite.…
I remember this time when I was a kid and it rained on the day we were supposed to go to a water park. Major disappointment. I remember this other time that they didn’t have French Silk pie at Baker’s Square. Another disappointment. I made a strawberry pie last night that was also a bit disappointing. It wasn’t sweet enough and to be honest, I don’t feel like the pie recipe is worth posting…but that…
