March 7, 2013 By

healthy peanut butter chocolate pie

Since Pi Day is coming up (March 14th), I want you all to be prepared.  Even though I’m pretty sure the only people who celebrate Pi Day are math lovers and corny food bloggers (me), but whatever.

And since Pi is a math term, and math is good for your brain, I wanted to make this pie good for your body.

Makes sense, right?

Try this pie!

Peanut Butter 7 Layer Pie

January 3, 2013 By

seven layer pie

Every year, my hometown has a festival for the MKT railroad and there are all sorts of festivities.

My (obvious) favorite is the pie festival.  Volunteers from the town bring homemade pies to a gathering center and then the pies are sold by the slice or full to anyone who wants one.  It’s a great idea and there’s never any pie left.

Well, Kellen’s grandpa’s favorite pie from this festival is the Catholic church priest’s “secret pie.”  I tried the pie and realized it tasted exactly like 7 layer bars.  His grandpa’s birthday was coming up and I wanted to make something special for him, so I made this 7 layer pie.  Fortunately for me, his grandpa can’t taste anything anymore, but I think I got the right recipe. ;)  This is seriously the easiest, tastiest pie you’ll ever make.

Did you all have a good New Year’s Eve? Any New Year’s Resolutions?

Pecan Pie Filled Sugar Cookie Bars

November 21, 2012 By

pecan pie filled sugar cookie bars

I can’t even tell you how excited I am that tomorrow is Thanksgiving!
Today I’m thankful that I’m home with my family and that I get to see all of my friends tonight at an “Annual Turkey Day Party” that we have every year.  I’m so excited.
A normal Thanksgiving for my family used to be spent at my brother’s house, but things have changed.  This year, it will be a quiet dinner (catered by Country Mart…it’s easy that way!) with me and my parents, and I’m okay with that.  I do wish that I could see the rest of my family, but both my brother and sister are feeding the homeless tomorrow, so I’d say that’s completely excusable.  I’m very proud to call them my family!
Anyway, if you’re looking for a last minute dessert other than pie for Thanksgiving dinner, I highly recommend these pecan pie filled sugar cookie bars.

Creamy Brown Butter Yogurt Apple Pie

July 2, 2012 By

creamy brown butter yogurt apple pie

So much happened this weekend.

Thursday, I attended a #BlogKC/#KCBloggerMeetup event at Sak’s Off 5th Avenue.  I didn’t know what to expect and when I walked in, I was a little overwhelmed.  I was given a $25 gift card and a name tag at the front and then we all got to do some major shopping for 2 hours.  In between the exhausting shopping (such a tough job) snacks were provided – brownies, savory tarts, cream puffs, and sangria - and more gift cards were given out.  I walked out with a new shirt and some fellow blogger friends.  Pretty successful if you ask me.

Friday, I had dinner with Kellen and a few friends at P.F. Changs.  We were gettin’ our noodles in to prepare for the Color Run the next morning.

I’m sure you can guess that Saturday I ran the color run with some friends.  Ohhh my gosh they aren’t kidding when they say it’s the “happiest 5k on earth.”  It was so fun!  Every kilometer, volunteers squirt you with paint.  It’s like chalk and they put it in ketchup/mustard containers and you can get as colorful or not colorful as you want.  There were 30,000 people who signed up for this color run… isn’t that CRAZY?  It was a really awesome experience and the race went by so quickly.  Easily the most fun 5k I’ve ever run.

paint all over my face from color run

paint splattered friends jumping in air after color run

Afterward, I spent the day hanging out with my some of favorite people.  Perfect weekend.

Nothing can top off a good weekend like a HUGE slice of pie.  So if you had a good weekend, make this pie and finish yours off well, too.  If you didn’t have a good weekend, then you should still try this pie… it’ll make it better.

Have you heard of the color run?  I had never heard of it until about 6 months ago.

Apple Pie Bars

May 19, 2012 By

apple-pie-bars-with-vanilla-icing

When I went to the cafeteria at school, I’d always take an apple or 2 or 3 with me when I left.

Since I did that every time, I ended up moving out of the dorms with 10 extra apples.

I don’t like to waste food, so of course, apple pie was my first thought.  I was feeling a little more creative, though, so I made apple pie bars instead.

These are great…every slice is like a mini pie.  The crust is super thin and the filling isn’t overwhelmingly sweet and they would taste awesome with ice cream.  I suggest making them when you want to make pie for a big crowd, but pie won’t serve enough.

“Pi”neapple Impossible “Pi”e & “Pi”elets

Happy π day!

I made Pineapple Impossible Pie.  It’s “impossible” because it creates its own crust… so basically, it’s really, super easy for people who don’t have time to whip up a pie crust (ME).

Check out the other awesome pi(e)s around the blogosphere today:

“Pi”napple Impossible Pi(e)

From: Worth the Whisk (Don’t you love that title!? I do.)

If you don’t like custard, you won’t like this pie.  I’m not really a fan of custard, but my love of coconut made it bearable for me. 

Ingredients:

  • 4 eggs
  • 2 cups cold milk
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • ½ cup all purpose flour
  • ¼ cup butter
  • dash salt
  • 2 tsp pineapple extract
  • 1 cup shredded coconut (sweetened or not – your choice)
Directions:
  1. Heat the oven to 350º degrees. Prepare a well-greased 10″ Pyrex pie dish. (Or a 9″ and a 6-cupcake pan… hence the “pielets”)
  2. Put all ingredients in blender, blend at high speed for the count of 10, then turn off blender and pour mixture into the prepared pie plate
  3. Bake for 40 minutes or until edges are brown. Cool (in dish) on wire rack.

White Chocolate Toffee Brownie Tart

March 4, 2012 By

tart5
I was feeling creative one day and I wanted to make something different than the stuff I normally bake.

So I grabbed the tart pan and went to work.  It ended up turning out similar to 7-layer bars, only better (in my opinion).

Imagine: a brownie layered with sweetened condensed milk and lots and lots of chocolate.

It’s super easy to make because it’s mostly layering, but I guarantee whoever you give this to will think you spent hours on it.

OH… and remember how I told you I got to see Colin Jost and Josh Wolf at a comedy show?  Here are the pics:

A li’l blurry… don’t care!

JEALOUS?!  They’re so hilarious.  If you ever get a chance to see them live, do it.  You won’t regret it.  Plus, they’re super nice… not stuck up at all, which I think is rare.

Mini Peanut Butter and Jelly Hand Pies

August 12, 2011 By

You know those Uncrustables?  The peanut butter and jelly sandwiches on the go?  

Well I used to be completely obsessed with them… like eat them every day at least once obsessed.

So when I had leftover pie crust from my Banana Cream Pie, I thought “Why not fill it with peanut butter and jelly”  And then I did it.  And they came out super yummy… the dough was rolled really thin so it was flaky and and I loved that the peanut butter and jelly melted and oozed out of the sides of the ‘hand pies’.  My only complaint is that I couldn’t fit enough filling in them, but other than that, great!

P.S.:

Holy Moly!!

I just want to say a huge thank you to whoever referred my blog to StumbleUpon yesterday because I’ve never had so many page views in one day! You made my day! :) So thank you, these are for you!

What was your favorite snack as a kid? 





Mini Peanut Butter and Jelly Hand Pies

Ingredients:
1 serving of your favorite pie crust, unbaked
1/4 cup peanut butter, smooth
1/4 cup jelly
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon egg whites

1.  Preheat oven to 350.
2.  Roll out dough as thin as you can get it without tearing, or as thick as you want it.
3.  Using a round cookie cutter, cut circles out of your dough.
4.  Fill each circle with 1 teaspoon peanut butter and 1 teaspoon jelly.  Fold in half and pinch off the edges.
5.  Brush each folded hand pie with egg whites and sprinkle with sugar.
6.  Bake at 350 for about 15 minutes, or until the edges start to slightly turn brown.

Double Banana Cream Pie from Scratch

August 9, 2011 By

double banana cream pie from scratch

What do you do with 4 completely overripe, disgustingly brown bananas?

My first thought is always banana bread, but banana bread is so boring.  Plus, nobody can make banana bread like my mom.  I remember the first semester of my freshman year of college, my mom would make banana bread for me when I came home.  I would wait in anticipation while the smell wafted from the kitchen and ask, a million times of course, “Is it done yet??” When it finally was, it was well-worth the wait.
But since I wasn’t up to the challenge of topping my mom’s banana bread, I settled for making banana cream pie.  In my house, we’ve always used the box mix pudding to make cream pies, but I wanted to do it all from scratch. I searched for recipes, but all of the banana cream pies used vanilla pudding for theirs and I wanted banana pudding, so I adapted.  It turned out really well!  I added extra vanilla to my whipped cream to contrast the strong banana flavor in the pie and it tasted great.  I really loved the ‘piece-y’ texture of the pudding and the sweetness of the pie was complimented well by the semi-salty crust.  If you can’t tell, I really liked it.  You will, too!
P.S. I’m switching to collages for my step-by-step photos to make my page load faster.  I went to Numion, an online stopwatch to see how long it takes websites to load, and mine took 12 seconds, so I’m trying to cut that down a little bit!
What food does your mom or someone close to you make that can’t be beat?
