Streusel-Topped Mincemeat Pie
Last year I ran across a jar of mincemeat at the grocery store and on a whim I threw it in my cart. I’ll be honest, mincemeat sounds gross but it’s very British and I wanted to at least try it. I had another recipe I was going use, but then saw the recipe for […]

Royal Custard Tart
I’m a big fan of Great British Bake Off (GBBO) and Custard Tart is something they’ve made before that I’ve always wanted to try. It feels a bit like a fall treat, especially with the nutmeg so I added it to my to-bake list. I should have used a recipe from one of my GBBO […]

Skillet Peach Pie
I know it’s not peach season anymore, but I made this during the summer and decided to post it later. This particular recipe is an adaption of one my sister-in-law has used on All Recipes. Other than the time spent peeling and slicing the peaches this doesn’t take much time at all and was really […]

Chocolate Cream Pie
Happy Pi Day! I love chocolate meringue pie and had been wanting one for a while. My husband has used a good recipe in the past from America’s Test Kitchen so I looked through our cookbooks and found this one. He swore it was the same one he used to make chocolate meringue pie last […]

Pumpkin Pie
Happy Thanksgiving! I’m posting early today in case you need a quick and yummy dessert to eat with your thanksgiving meal. If you have a can of pumpkin puree, a can of sweetened condensed milk, some eggs, and spices then you’re set. Well, and a pie crust… that’s pretty important too (we generally get the […]

Chocolate Icebox Pie
Recently my grandfather and I were talking about pie, which isn’t really abnormal; but, he was telling me that he grew up eating Chocolate Icebox Pie. Having never heard of this pie before I wondered how it was different from Chocolate Meringue Pie, Chocolate Cream Pie, Chocolate Chess Pie or Chocolate Silk Pie. I’m still […]

Peach Galette
A galette is a flat, round cake made of pastry dough or bread and I’d never heard of it before; but it looked like a fun dessert to try so I figured why not? This recipe isn’t hard, but it is a bit time consuming. The dough portion was easy and I really love pie […]

Best-Ever Key Lime Pie
I’ve made Key Lime Pie before, but never fully from scratch. So I was really excited when I ran across this recipe that not only made a graham cracker crust from scratch, but also skipped the Key Lime juice as an ingredient and used fresh limes. . I was a little nervous about the fact […]

Berry Cream Tart
I recently bought a tart pan and have been trying to find the right recipe to break it in. What better way to do that than with this beautiful berry tart? This recipes isn’t super difficult, but it’s got quite a few steps so keep that in mind if you try it. I’ve never made […]

Kentucky Derby Pie
Happy Pi Day! In honor of this day we had to celebrate with some kind of pie so my husband made his famous chocolate chess pie (which I’m realizing I’ve never made on here before so I’ll try to remedy that soon) and I made Kentucky Derby Pie to take to my family. I’ve made […]
