Today is Pi Day. An official day to celebrate pi. And pie. And heck, it's March. March needs a good holiday. One full of sugar and friends and baking.
This week I'll be posting the recipies from our own celebration and linking them up here.
Delicious No Roll Crust
Mini Sweet Potato Pies
Incredible Chocolate Cream Pie
Chicken Pot Pie Filling (Take II)

But what I really want to see is what YOU made. How did you celebrate Pi Day? What is your most awesome pie? Link up below for a chance to win one of two pocket pie molds.
One winner will be chosen by random drawing. The other prize will be awarded for most awesome entry where awesome is based on creativity, tastiness, and presentation. The linky will close one week from today, on the 21st and the winners will be announced later that week. (Please be sure that I have some way to contact you if you win, either through your blog or by dropping me a comment or an email with you email address.)
Thanks to you, I actually celebrated this year!! I didn't take pictures (fail) but I made us a Deep Dish Chicago Style Pizza Pie. It had a cornmeal crust that I modified to be made in the bread maker (I'm not a fan of kneading either) and the filling was pasta sauce, goat cheese, sauteed onions & garlic, wilted spinach, salami & mozzarella.
ReplyDeleteFor dessert I made us a sugar-free (Splenda) apple-raisin pie with a crumb top. I used this recipe for the pie crust and just made the filling myself. I found the crumb top recipe online and just modified it - super easy though. 1/2 cup flour, 1/4 cup Splenda, 1/4 cup margarine and some Cinnamon. Yum!!
Thanks for hosting this. I would like to do something similar on my blog, but I can't figure it out! Maybe one day!
ReplyDeleteI usually don't celebrate Pi Day because our summer pie eating contest is enough work that it puts us off of major pie events for the rest of the year. A favorite at that event is always the blueberry crumb pie, and last year, I made a variation on it, a Peach Blueberry Granola Crumb Pie. It was divine.
