The Year of Pie

 The Year of Pie

    Well, this was a fun year. I discovered that I have problems with cream pies. Most of my cream pies didn't turn out as well as I'd hoped; it was the too soft consistency of the filling. I learned that I am still no better at pie crusts than I was at the beginning of the year, but I had fun trying. I made one pie (Peanut Pie) twice; once for the blog and once for my church ladies' group and found several that I really liked. I made both savory dinner pies and sweet dessert pies. I wanted a mix of flavors/fillings and crusts. I feel I succeeded with that goal. Most were pastry crusts, but there are a few graham cracker/cookie crusts. On tap for next year's blog theme is "Appetizers".  Follow along as I make at least two appetizers a month next year. It's going to be interesting!

My top five favorite pies in order are:

#1 - Chocolate Brownie Pie (Pie #24)

#2 - Bacon Cheese Pie (Pie #10)

#3 - Peanut Pie (Pie #1) 

#4 - Strawberry Cream Cheese Pie (Pie #14)

#5 - Pork and Tater Pie (Pie #3)

Honorable Mentions: Sweet Potato Praline Pie (Pie #20), Buttermilk Pie (Pie #2), To Die For Chocolate Chip Pie (Pie #7), Lemon Icebox Pie (Pie #19)
