Welcome to Portlandia Pie Lady’s Blog!
Hello from the Great Northwest! I’m Linda, and in my neck of the woods, I am also known as “The Pie lady.” My old stomping ground is Seattle, Washington, though I have lived in the Portland, Oregon area for over 20 years (growing up I never had a desire to settle in Oregon, ever, but it grows on you).
I was not always a pie diva, when I first ventured out on my my own, I really only knew how to make really good spaghetti, a pretty damn good pumpkin pie, and the best crust (Grandma’s Pie Crust).
Fast forward a few years, not only do I still make the very best spaghetti, but I make superb pies, and so can you! I have had more than my fair share of “duds” in the baking world, but out of those came fantabulous pies with a lot of hilarious stories along the way. If I was able to clone myself I’d pop up in your kitchen & bake with you every step of the way.
Our family (& with the help of some dedicated friends) puts on an annual “Pie Night” on Thanksgiving Eve. Sadly, 2019 marked the last year we had our event; (Covid changed all that). It was a great 21 year run! It’s 2025 now, and I may do an honorary pie night some November in the future. We will have to see if the planets align.
I can feel the pie magic already happening in your kitchens already. Thank for visiting my little corner of the world.
Linda, The Pie Lady
