Charlie’s been making this pie for a while, and he always gets extremely rave reviews with it. (This photo is from when he and Ben made the pie for me once!)
You may have noticed when I posted the recipes from All Over Your Face, I omitted the apple pie recipe. That’s because when we [...]

Stovetop-Free Strawberry Pie

This was one of the flavors that we offered for the pie-eating contest, and as I mentioned in the Blueberry Crumb entry, I had a lot of trouble finding a recipe that didn’t pre-cook the blueberries into glop.For the strawberry recipes I perused, [I'd never made blueberry or strawberry pie before] I found that the [...]

This pie was by far my favorite out of any at the pie-eating contest, and I’m definitely going to try to squeeze in another one before all the blueberries disappear from the supermarket shelves (or the prices rise dramatically as they are shipped in from lands far far away). People were clamoring to get [...]

We served this at our pie-eating contest, but it’s good for picnics when you want something that won’t spoil easily.
This is a very easy and very refreshing way to use up some of the extra cucumbers that many of us still have popping up in our CSA deliveries. It’s another great side dish for [...]

When I was growing up, my mother would take us peach picking most summers. We went to a place down the shore by my grandmother’s ridiculously large house, and then we’d all go back to the house to make pie. There was a large island in the middle of the kitchen, and many counters surrounding [...]

Yesterday, we held the first annual “All Over Your Face” hands-free pie-eating contest and BBQ. I mention this here because, well, it’s ridiculous, and because over the next few days, you’re going to see a lot of recipes related to the contest. The “competition sized pies” were seven inches and each had a double crust. [...]
Watermelon Keg and Punch Recipe

We saw the idea for this in Food Network magazine a few months ago and decided that we absolutely had to make it happen. We procured a plastic tap, added a bit of tubing to make it a little more secure, and made it happen! Warning: This is really, really messy. [...]
