Pi Day 2019

My husband works in a very geeky office. Naturally, they celebrate Pi Day. In 2018, they had a few store-bought pies. You know, they're okay, but nothing like homemade. This year, I decided to rectify that.

By making 11 pies.


6 of these recipes I had never even made before:
Lemon Meringue - very good
Tart Cherry (made with cherries from our tree) - I've never been a fan of cherry pie, but this one was alright. SUPER tart.
Mississippi Mud Pie - Um, this is delicious
Banana Cream - Not a huge fan of bananas, but this pie was pretty good.
Key Lime - AMAZING.
Salted Caramel Dark Chocolate (I used Joe Joe's instead of Oreos, and Trader Joe's caramel sauce instead of making my own) - Rich and decadent.


I also made:
- Dutch Apple
-Triple Berry
-Apple Berry (my personal favorite)
-Strawberry Rhubarb
-Orange Meringue





It was a delicious day.

Love and Pie,

Pi Day 2015

Hi everyone,

I know it's been a million years since I posted, or at least 105 days, but this time I have a really good excuse, and it's not insomnia.  Well, a little bit insomnia, but not mostly.

And since all three of my readers already know this, there's nothing surprising about this announcement, but I'm pregnant!  Woohoo!

Now, I was still absent for a month or so before getting pregnant, so I blame PVS.  You know, Post-Vacation Syndrome.  We had such a nice vacation and then I had to go back to real life and that was an adjustment.  And then I was throwing up all the time, and that part hasn't really changed, but I'm mostly adjusted to that routine now, too.

And now that I've mentioned vomit, let's look at some pictures of food!

This year was an epic Pi Day, because not only was it 3-14, but it was 3-14-15!  To celebrate, I wanted to make 3.14 pies, but that's kind of really hard.  Instead, I made 3.16666 pies.

2 of my whole pies were new recipes to me, but they're both keepers!

I made an apple berry pie the night before, and we ate it for breakfast.  It was delicious!



For lunch, I made a Dutch Apple Pie, and as always, it was fantastic.


For dinner, I made a chicken pot pie.  I've never made one before, but it was really delicious.  I was so proud of the pie symbol that I cut into the top crust, but as soon as I got it on and sealed, I realized that I had forgotten to add the spices to the filling.  I had to cut the whole top crust off, stir in the spices, and then 'paste' it back on.  It didn't look nearly as nice, but then the filling overflowed while cooking and ruined the pi symbol anyway.  Regardless, it was a very nice dinner!


I never thought I'd be sick of pie, but honestly, eating pie for every meal in one day is a bit much, even for me.  We had mini pies for dessert, but probably should have just saved them for breakfast the next day.


Love and Pi,
Leah Joy

Holidays I Missed

I wrote a lot about Valentine's Day, but I forgot to share this picture of the roses Caleb bought me:


(I married a smart man; he had them delivered the week before Valentine's Day to save money!)

I also never shared pictures of the beautiful and delicious pies I made to celebrate Pi Day (March 14).

Here's my Dutch Apple Pi Pie:


And my first-ever lemon meringue pie!



It was scrumptious!
