National Pie Day - 1/23

I have so many fond memories of waking up on the weekends to the smell of something baking in the oven. My grandmother would get up early and make her pies for later that evening. After dinner we would whip the cream and then sit down at the table where we laughed until it was time for bed.

In honor of National Pie Day, this Saturday is the perfect day to bake a pie. There is always a huge sense of accomplishment when you make something and people sit down to enjoy it. Apple, cherry, pecan, key lime and chocolate are a few favorites but there are so many versions to choose from. For ideas and recipes, try www.allrecipes.com and type "pie" in the header for a large selection.

If you are not feeling sweet, try a homemade pot pie. A turkey or chicken pot pie would make a great Saturday night dinner if you are staying in. Or if you are limiting your sweets these days, you can still bake a pie but bring it to a neighbor or family member to brighten their day.

Enjoy pie day - it only comes but once a year.
