Hola…(hello) Buenos días or Buenas tardes (Good Morning or Good Afternoon, depending on what time of day you are reading this) ¿Cómo estás? ( how are you?) Amigo (Friend) If my sister-in-law (Vera) in New Mexico is reading this, I am sure…
Do you remember the phrase supposedly spoken by Marie Antoinette …Let them eat Cake…I say, Let Them Eat Pie! Let us all eat Pie! Today I want to talk about Pies!!! I love pies…..there is nothing greater than a pie cooling on an open window sill, with a frilly curtain fluttering in the…
I love chocolate meringue pie. Some friends prefer the whipped cream on top of the chocolate filling, but I like the beaten egg whites piled high on the pie and toasted in the oven to crisp peaks! If I wanted whipped cream on my pie, I would buy a carton of Cool Whip and chow…
Oh how I love Apple Pie! I have a confession to make….I won’t eat restaurant Apple Pie! I think it is because they are previously frozen, they just don’t taste the same. There is one restaurant near St. Louis, MO that makes a Levee High Apple Pie. The name of the out of the way…
My Mother’s favorite Pie was Coconut Cream Pie and as kids, we didn’t care for the coconut so perhaps that is why she liked this pie….she had it all to herself! Way to go Mom! You were pretty clever and I wish I would have thought of something like that when raising my kids. 🙂…

Red Raspberries and Cherries! What a duo!

I also have a cherry-peach pie recipe that I will be posting…
Berry Pies are wonderful and blueberry pie is no exception. I like to buy blueberries in bulk and lay them flat on a cookie sheet and put in my freezer. Then I bag them up in the proportions I want and seal them in freezer bags. Freezing them first keeps them from sticking and mushing…
Butterscotch Pie is hardly made these days. I am not sure why because I like the caramel tasting custard. It kind of reminds me of those butterscotch candies we used to get in the Market. If you make this and have not had Butterscotch Pie before…let me know what you think. Me
Pineapple Pie is a good pie for a warm summer day…it just makes you think you are in the Islands somewhere, perhaps on a Pineapple Plantation and you are indulging in a slice of sweet pineapple. You can make this pie open faced (no crust or meringue) and just top it with a scoop of…
Fresh Peach Pie….or Peach cobbler makes you think of comfort foods. I grew up with comfort foods and I still enjoy them. In moderation of course. But why deny oneself one of the pleasures in life of eating great and good food, that is my motto….. This pie just screams Summertime and fruit orchards! Please…
