Blueberry Pie
I needed a dessert recently when I headed over to a friend’s place for dinner. His wife was making fish tacos, and his 3-year old son declared that out all the pie flavors possible, blueberry sounded best. I couldn’t argue. I used the same crust recipe I’d used for my quiche, and doubled the recipe to […]
Pie Crust
Happy 2013, everyone! May your resolve be strong, and all your dreams be realized this year To me, making pie crust from scratch has always been a daunting task. Sure, I’ve done it, but it’s so much easier to buy it from the store. But for those times when I wanna wrassle with a rolling […]
4th of July Lemonade Pie
I’ll make this quick since I meant to post it in plenty of time for you to make it today before any barbecues! This pie needs 8 hours to set in the freezer (preferably overnight, but I’m sure you could do 6 in a pinch!), so even if you can’t make it today, you can […]
Orange Custard Pie
Making this pie was also a direct result of my excessive orange purchase at the farmer’s market. I made this twice in that same week, because it’s that freaking good. Another thing to note is that aside from oranges, I’d also been on a Chinese Five Spice kick. (It’s reminiscent of apple or pumpkin pie […]
Farmer’s Market Pie
So this pie is just a slight variation on the Orange-Scented Strawberry Pie I made for Easter. As the name indicates, it was inspired by my purchases at a local farmer’s market (the one in Studio City, for you locals). I went with a friend on Sunday a couple of weeks ago, and we picked […]
Orange-scented Strawberry Pie
This really is the most accurate title for this pie, because Strawberry Orange seemed a bit over-exaggerated since I only used a bit of orange zest. The original intention had been to make a Strawberry Rhubarb pie, but I guess rhubarb isn’t in season since I could find it neither fresh nor frozen in 3 […]
Chocolate Puddin’ Pie
I’m really all about not baking lately. You read that correctly. I’m looking for any excuse not to turn on the oven because even the thought of it makes me hot. When I do turn on my oven, to roast veggies or make shrinky dinks, I make sure it’s late at night, at an hour […]
Easy as [Cool Whip] Pie!
Are you going to a barbecue or potluck this summer? Do you live someplace like Los Angeles where it’s too hot to even think about turning on your oven? Well Cool Whip Pie is definitely a recipe to keep on hand – you’ll memorize it after making it once – because it’s summery, light, and […]
Key Lime Pie
Happy New Year, everyone! I hope the stars align in your favor this year Now, for business… While we were all in Florida, my uncle had a birthday. My aunt suggested we make him a key lime pie to celebrate. How could I argue? We took the filling and meringue recipes from the NY Times […]
Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work Pie
This pie went through a couple of name changes before I found one that suited it. For Adam’s birthday, I asked what he’d like me to make. He said “Something with chocolate.” Alright, well here goes. As Braz asked when I told him what Adam had requested, “That’s effing [he did not say effing] ridiculous. […]
