Caramelized Pineapple Cream Pie

It did not remotely feel like summer in Chicago this weekend. I woke up to a forecast of 44 and cloudy. We can only hope summer will make an appearance by August. So naturally in protest I channeled tropical weather vibes the best way I know how…pie. Nothing says summer like pineapple, right? So sitContinue reading “Caramelized Pineapple Cream Pie”

Southwest Chicken Pot Pie

It’s been gloomy and rainy all weekend in Chicago. The kind of weather that makes me want to do absolutely nothing. Do you think Spring will ever make an appearance? Saw this yesterday and it’s almost too accurate… Thanks for nothing, Spring. Since I’m pretty sure we’ll never get out of winter, we might asContinue reading “Southwest Chicken Pot Pie”

Nutella Pie

Hap-pie pi day, friends! Hope your day has been filled with lots of pie (sweet, savory, pizza…whatever floats your boat). No shame: I had pizza for lunch and dinner, plus pie for dessert. In honor of Pi Day I have a new *delicious* recipe. But first…there’s some Nutella controversy out there, so let me startContinue reading “Nutella Pie”

With no clues. 🤷‍♀️ But because people are lazy there’s anContinue reading “St. Patrick’s Day Mint Pie”

Bacon, Egg, & Cheese Breakfast Pie

During my three years in NYC, my favorite breakfast by far was bacon, egg, and cheese on an everything bagel. It didn’t matter if it was from a neighborhood bodega or a fancy bagel shop—there’s just no match to the cheesy, salty goodness. It’s everything you want when you’re so hungover you want to dieContinue reading “Bacon, Egg, & Cheese Breakfast Pie”

Dark Chocolate Raspberry Pie

Just because Valentine’s Day is over, doesn’t mean I’m going to stop eating chocolate. If anything, I’m going to go to the store and get more right now. It’s on sale. You can’t say no to a good sale. Last week I bought sandals solely because I had a coupon. It’s 30 degrees outside. IContinue reading “Dark Chocolate Raspberry Pie”
