Chocolate Cream Pie in Graham Cracker Crust

Yes, I did ACTUALLY use a store-bought crust for this one!! Sometimes, you just have to use a short-cut... and I needed a dessert FAST. This was quite yummy... gone in one evening! Jenn

Chesapeake Crab Pie

Another savory pie... I really liked this one. Pie crusts are getting to be such a breeze... Jenn

Meringue-Topped Coconut Pie in Coconut Crust

This pie was coconut through and through... from the toasted coconut crust (quite yummy) to the coconut cream to the coconut sprinkled on top. Jillian and Sophida got to sample this one with me and it wasn't half-bad! Needless to say, I didn't have to throw any of this pie away... the whole thing was gone in less than 24 hours. Jenn

Shaker Citrus Pie in a Cookie Crust

Though, this pie was nice to look at, it is my least favorite pie, so far. It called for whole slices of candied lemon and orange in the filling and I just didn't find the texture very pleasing. Hmmm... here's hoping the next one will be a bit more enjoyable. Jenn

Deep-Dish Broccoli Leek & Cheddar Pie

Thankfully, I discovered the chapter on savory tarts and pies so we could take a bit of a break from dessert pies! It looks like it's the shortest chapter in the book, however.... looks like it will be a sweet year! Jenn

Cinnamon Crumbs and Plumbs Tart

Wouldn't Little Jack Horner be pleased? This tart was gobbled up amazingly quickly... Mostly plumbs, with a bit of crumble and a bit of custart underneath... so yummy. Jenn

Cappuccino Brownies

Yes, I'm actually posting a photo of a brownie. But, let me tell you, these were no ordinary brownies... dark chocolate glaze with a hint of espresso, cinnamon cream cheese and a rich chocolate base... these were maybe the best brownies I've ever had in my life... and I made them! Jenn
