Black & Blue Pie

Before & After

After making the world’s best pie earlier this summer, I was eager to take on another one! I’ve had my eye on this Blueberry & Blackberry Pie from Smitten Kitchen for a couple years now, and have just been obsessed with the beautiful purple filling. I picked up a gigantic basket of blueberries at the […]

Strawberry Rhubarb Pie

I first made this pie six years ago to bring to a BBQ at my friend Libby’s house, and have been thinking about it every summer since! I finally re-made it to bring to another BBQ with my friends Krishna & Weedy, using freshly picked strawberries from Stonehaven Farms. It was both the best looking […]

Blueberry Pecan Galette

Blueberry Pecan Galette

While my favourite summer fruits are strawberries and peaches, blueberries take a bronze medal just because they’re so low maintenance. All they need is a quick rinse and they’re good to go, which I love (although I do find hulling strawberries oddly therapeutic). I saw this Blueberry Pecan Galette on Bon Appetit last summer and […]

Creme Brulee Pie

Every Oscars feast must end with a delicious dessert, and for the past couple years I’ve been in the habit of making a pie. Last year was this epic Salty Honey Pie that I’d been dying to try, and this year I decided on a Crème Brûlée Pie I’ve had bookmarked for ages. This pie is […]

Peaches & Cream Pie

Peach Slice

I first made this pie way, way back in my pre-blog baking days. It was probably around 2004 or 2005, and while I don’t remember if I made my own pastry or not, I definitely know that I made it with canned peaches. After making Rhubarb Custard Pie in 2014 and Blueberry Custard Pie in 2015, I knew […]

Mini Beef & Guinness Pie

When Danielle and I went to London, we ate the most delicious savoury pot pies on our first pub night there and I’ve been waning to make my own at home ever since. I finally did it last week, due to the combined forces of Pi Day (3.14….get it???) and St. Patrick’s Day. My go-to […]

Salty Honey Pie

Salty Honey Pie

I’ve seen this recipe for Salty Honey Pie on so many blogs over the past few years, and have always been intrigued by it. It sounded kind of weird, but kind of like Crack Pie, but also maybe like a butter tart with honey instead of corn syrup. When Kristine and I went to Cake […]

Frozen Strawberry Cheesecake Pie

Strawberry Slice

While I may not have figured out my signature summer cocktail just yet, here’s my Summer Sixteen signature dessert. I made this two weeks in a row, and considering I hardly every make the same thing twice, it automatically qualifies. This is what’s happening in this four layer party in a pie plate: Graham cracker […]

Blueberry Custard Pie

I’ve been operating on a two-month delay over here when it comes to summer fruit, but luckily just caught the end of blueberry season a couple of weeks ago. I made that amazing Blueberry Buckle, but was dreaming of this Blueberry Custard Pie; a mash-up of the Blueberry Pie I made two summers ago, and […]

Rhubarb Cream Cheese Hand Pies

Sometimes I have a moment when I see a new recipe and I’m like omgineedtomakethisrightaway and I can’t stop thinking about it. This becomes a problem when dealing with seasonal fruit, and rhubarb in particular, because if you don’t drop everything and make it right away, you’ll have to wait like a year for your […]
