A Bit of Pie…

Erica Lea on Nov 23rd 2010

Every year on Thanksgiving Eve we have a little get-together to eat pie. I know, it seems like overkill to eat pie two nights in a row. But we love pie and can’t seem to get enough of it.

Here are a few of my favorites:

banana-cream

Banana Cream Pie. No recipe, just step-by-step photos. Here’s a recipe that’s similar.

blueberry-pie

Blueberry Pie. Shared by my sister. I took this photo way back in 2007.

squash-pie

Winter Squash Pie with whole wheat crust.


Some scrumptious pies from other bloggers:

:: Georgie Peach Pie via honey & jam ::

:: Mini Pumpkin Pies via A Food Lover’s Journey ::

:: Lemon Meringue Pie via bron marshall ::

:: Pear, Honey and Ginger Slab Pie via Shoots and Roots ::


Have a blessed Thanksgiving, and make sure to eat plenty of pie!

But if you never cook with someone you love and trust, you lose so much. Working and producing with your best friend is very rewarding and really brings out your character.

My favorite people to cook with? My sisters.

No strings attached. Just a common goal: creating something delicious.

These cookies were made by my sister and I for a party. As I rolled the balls of dough in sugar, I realized how easy it is for me to work with her. How blessed I am to be able to work with my sister without going crazy!

But lets talk cookies. These big, soft cookies have a wonderful level of spice and sweetness. Perfect with a tall glass of cold (whole) milk.

Back in May of 2009, I first posted about my favorite cornbread recipe. I had the watermark thing going. Looks like my blog name is hovering over the piece of cornbread.
