Pie Makes Everything Better!
Lemon Brownie Batter pie; the picture does not do justice by a long shot. It deceivingly does not look like gooey brownie batter, but just take a bite. The baked lemon butter batter looks almost cake-like, but it its a very creamy-gooey texture. It has the bite of a lemon […]
Italian cuisine is almost always at the top of my list; and a Meaty Italian Polenta Pie hits all the right notes. The edges are sizzling as it emerges from the oven begging to be eaten right then on the spot. It’s so hard to let it cool off a […]
Strawberry Shortcake Freezer Pie, a Good Humor ice cream in pie form? Whaaat? Oh yes. And, it’s a toss up as to my favorite: the strawberry shortcake crumbles or the freezer pie. After indulging in a slice or two, there’s no question, they are both fabulously better together. If you’re […]
Strawberry Shortcake Crumbles! It’s crumbly strawberry patch ready to party on your next dessert! Can you stand it? They’re so irresistible with intense strawberry and vanilla all tangled up together like the best of friends. This version of strawberry shortcake crumbles DOES NOT have vanilla pudding mix, but it does […]
French Silk Pie is a super dreamy creamy mousse-type chocolate pie,every single bite is light and velvety smooth. The filling is very silky, like the name. I fell in love with French Silk Pie many years ago. It is very similar to Frango Mint Pie in texture (without the mint). Frango […]
Yes, Fluffer Nutter Pie, it’s a real thing. Flutter Nutter Pie was born out of the love for Fluffer Nutter Sandwiches; a total Boston origination. Yes, straight up peanut butter and marshmallow cream on sandwich bread. However, there would be no Nutter if there was no Fluffer. I recently listened […]
Berry Cookie Tart (aka Berry “POP” Tart) is a crumbly oatmeal-brown sugar and butter mixture that doubles as the crust and topping. The filling is your favorite pureed pie filling, jam, or preserves. It’s simply delicious and simple to make. Berry POP Tart time, cuz It’s BERRY season! Strawberries, Raspberries, […]
Rhubarb Crumble Tart with Orange Shortbread Crust; and spiked with a bit orange juice with the rhubarb. Winning combination? My rhubarb aficionado (the daughter) gave a resounding YES! I was never a huge fan of rhubarb, but the addition of orange really brightened up the flavor. Taste-a-vision, smell-a-vision, it’s all […]
Chicken & Cornbread with veggies and cheese; sign me up. And, the fact the cornbread bakes with the chicken filling; another win-win. Cornbread is one of our very favorite quick bread to feast. However, a lot of recipes require the cornbread to be baked separately. This is a turn off […]
Red Basil Sauce & Garlic Alfredo Sauce, in my humble opinion go hand in hand. Sometimes I want red sauce; sometimes I want white sauce. As both are easy sauces to make I figured why not keep them together. They’re like Italian cousins, they love to hang out together, but […]
Can you dig this; Mediterranean Tart tastes like an adventure in Greece or a stroll through the streets of Venice. I love feasting and celebrating with seasonal vegetables; even when they’re not in season per se. Everyone’s corner of the world has their own harvest festivals from multiple varieties of […]
Snickers Cheesecake; why have I waited so long? The next question you are asking is “Why isn’t this taste-a-vision?” The filling is loaded with Snickers surrounded by a hint of peanut butter flavored cheesecake. Salted caramel drizzled over the top with a good helping of roasted peanuts and extra Snickers […]
Is there anything more cute and galactically cuddly than Baby Yoda? No, say I. Are you anxiously awaiting for the next installment of The Mandalorian as I am? We need the the full scoop on the cute little guy. In the meantime we will go forth and celebrate Star Wars, […]
Sandwich Cookie Crust! Chocolate, vanilla, lemon, and mint, oh my! Thank you sandwich cookie makers for expanding the flavors to customize each and every pie! I use lemon cookies for Lemon Fluff Pie and Lemon Sour Cream Pie; chocolate cookies for Frango Mint Pie, Chocolate Hazelnut Silk, and Chocolate Velvet […]
Nothing says think spring like lemon; today it’s Lemon Fluff Pie. Lemon is my go to summery day dessert food group. A fluffy lemon filling spiked with lemon zest & luscious lemon curd, served up in a lemon cookie crust. Lemon Fluff Pie also doubles as a fantabulous frozen dessert. […]
Luscious lemon curd; fantabulous in tarts, yogurts, meringue cookies, pavlova & of course pies. You had me at lemon. Lemon curd is a combination of egg yolks, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest and sugar. I also add a little bit of heavy cream for creamier texture which cooks up into […]
