Pi(e) Day

Happy 3.14

I hope all of your days were filled with delicious pie. I hooked my family up with some pizza pie and for desert... you guessed it actual pie. We had chicken bacon ranch and a hawaiian pizza from a local restaurant called Little Louie's and the chicken bacon ranch was the bomb.  I loved the crispy bacon and diced tomatoes on it.


I tried something new and made a lemon meringue pie. I've never dealt with meringue before but the recipe i followed was nice and easy and you can find it here. I cheaped out and used a store bought crust because i was feeling lazy but the filling was nice and tart and the meringue was sugary so it all balanced out. Next time I'm definitely making a home-made crust because this one just wasn't buttery or flaky, bit disappointing really.


I also whipped up one of my favorites just in case the meringue failed, it's a nutter butter pie that is a real crowd pleaser. The filling is a mixture of cream cheese, marshmallow fluff, homemade whipped topping and crushed up nutter butters. I'm pretty sure i could eat it with a spoon by itself but shoving it inside of a crust made out of even more crushed up cookies and topping it with homemade whipped topping just puts me in tasty pie heaven.
Did anyone else make anything awesome for Pi(e) day?
