You’ll have to forgive me for missing one week of my pie-per-week challenge. Already, I’m only three weeks into this thing and I’ve missed a week? #badblogger Needless to say, I think I’m going to have to develop a strategy for how we can gift these pies to friends and family throughout the challenge.

I’m convinced she is my child because she loves sweets just like her … Read More

Whew. Coming in right under the gun and posting a second pie recipe before the week is over. I made this pie twice in the last week, and I’ve found that pie making is quickly becoming one of my favorite things to do.
