Or as I've decided to call it: Fancy Pants Mac n' Cheese. I love everything about this dinner. First of all, anything that I get to eat as a main dish with "pie" in the title is awesome in my book. I've always heard how great cheese is on top of apple pie (but never… Continue reading Apple Cheddar Penne Pie

Poppa’s Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp
Some of my fondest childhood memories involve rhubarb. Actually, they revolve around my grandfather (who I called "Poppa"), his cabin, and the rhubarb that grows by the laughing creek that runs the length of his property. My cousins and I established lifelong friendships in the field at the cabin. I learned to play volleyball and… Continue reading Poppa’s Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp
Crustless Pumpkin Pie
The technically correct term for this recipe is "Pumpkin Flan". I'm pretty sure you need a crust to call something a pie.

Instead of cake, I made him his favorite - Banana Cream Pie. I was going to… Continue reading Not “Doren” – Banana Cream Pie

I have several lemons rapidly getting closer to serving no purpose but attracting fruit flies. 3. Lemon curd is awesome and delicious. I'll… Continue reading Lemon Curd
Nectarine Raspberry Pie
We had a bunch of fruit leftover from my sister's bridal shower this weekend. So, I took the nectarines home, combined them with some raspberries I had in the fridge and tried out a new recipe for pie. It was kind of a complex recipe - but the pie was really good. Very flaky crust… Continue reading Nectarine Raspberry Pie
