Blueberry Peach Pie

I think I've been on Instagram too much lately. All this beautiful, unique pie dough work has been on my mind and I decided to try my hand at braided lattices. I mixed it up with regular lattice strips, and they're actually not difficult and take your pie up a level (insta baker celeb level). … Continue reading Blueberry Peach Pie

Peach Galette

I've discovered that having pie dough in your freezer is an amazing gift. It makes it so easy to whip up a freeform galette one night after work and not have to wait for dough to sit in the fridge for an hour. The time saved with this galette made it easier to arrange these … Continue reading Peach Galette

Peach Pie

I was reading an article recently and it mentioned "garbage can peaches", meaning a peach so juicy and messy you HAVE to eat it over a garbage can. I love that image, because you honestly can't beat a good peach. Another thing you can't beat? A slice of peach pie on a summer day after … Continue reading Peach Pie

Blueberry Pie

Oh boy. I went to the market this morning and it was overflowing with all good things: strawberries, cherries, peaches, blackberries, raspberries and of course blueberries. I love how small and flavourful wild blueberries are and they're perfect for pie. Typically, I'll buy about half wild and half regular so I don't drop $30 on … Continue reading Blueberry Pie

Strawberry Balsamic Pie

Good strawberries are hard to find. It has to be the right time of year and the berries have to be just ripe enough, but if you get a good batch it's like a whole other level of delicious. It's easy to devour the whole box by yourself in one sitting, why not right? SO … Continue reading Strawberry Balsamic Pie

Rhubarb Pie

This is the first fruit pie I make each year. Ontario rhubarb comes into season in late April/early May and whenever I see it I buy too much and have to freeze half of it. I've been told that rhubarb on its own in pies is pretty "old school", but I love the simplicity that … Continue reading Rhubarb Pie

Mud Pie

Oreos, ice cream and the most addictive fudge sauce you've ever had? That is mud pie. I'm not kidding when I say this fudge sauce is addictive. At birthdays my Grandma will throw a jar of it into your gift if you're lucky. When it tops this frozen treat it brings everything together from the … Continue reading Mud Pie

Key Lime Pie

Last weekend I went to Sanibel Island in Florida for a family ladies weekend. Florida conjures up a lot of images: giant alligators, weird news articles, seashells, etc, but of course also the ultimate Florida dessert, key lime pie. I only had one piece while there (could have easily had 1 per day) and I … Continue reading Key Lime Pie

Lemon Coconut Meringue Pie

It's April 3rd and snowing, but I promise this pie will make you forget about it and think you're somewhere warm and sunny. I've been fascinated with lemon meringue pie since I was a kid. The pretty peaks of the meringue and vibrant yellow filling always looked so delicious in the bakery window. I decided … Continue reading Lemon Coconut Meringue Pie

Lavender Honey Pie

Last summer, I went on a 3 week Eurotrip that culminated in Provence and then Paris. Food and wine and driving through disgustingly beautiful country roads and lavender fields reigned supreme in Provence, and I refused to leave without getting my fix of lavender. Aside from soap, I also bought a bag of culinary lavender … Continue reading Lavender Honey Pie
