Pie on the Brain

IMG_3554

I don’t have a recipe today.

Seems that life is catching up with me, and I’m not keeping up with the cooking part.

Or, rather, life is happening. And that doesn’t always leave me time in the kitchen. I’m okay with that.

The next few months are going to be crazy – I hope for it’s all the good kind of crazy – but crazy, regardless.

Yesterday was Nick’s birthday. This weekend is our nephew’s first birthday. We’re celebrating Nick’s birthday with a cookout in a few weekends, then my birthday a few days later. Our Honduras trip is coming up in July, and even though I’ve been 3 times, I never feel totally ready for that trip.

And even though I can’t share this recipe just yet, I did make a pie a few days ago. And it’s good.

I entered this into the the Nestle Kitchens “There’s Always Room for Pie” contest – have you entered yet?

I’ve got a couple more ideas to try out and see if they’re worth submitting – it’s been fun! But I hate not being able to share this yet. As soon as the contest is done, you better be ready for pie recipes.

Since all I’ve been thinking about lately is birthdays and pies, what is your favorite pie?
