Pies, Squares & Tarts

Blueberry Pie

This makes a very nice pierogi filling as well as pie filling.  If you want to add a bit of extra flavor and you're tired of the common very common flavor of cinnamon, try this recipe with nutmeg, it's excellent.

Inverted Lemon Meringue Pie

This doesn't look like your traditional lemon meringue pie but tastes like it.

Golden Pecan Pie

My favorite pecan pie recipe is made with Lyle's Golden Syrup because it's less sweet than a similar pie made with corn syrup.

To kick things up a bit, try the chocolate pecan version, it's AMAZING!

Pie Crust

Wheat pie crust can be a challenge to work with, GF crust is more of a challenge.  On the bright side, GF pie dough patches easier than wheat dough.

Squash / Pumpkin Pie

This recipe originally came from my "Grammy Wilda" decades ago and it's my dad's favorite squash pie.  If we have another squash or pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving he wants to have this one as well.

The recipe is so simple, uses fresh squash or pumpkin and doesn't require evaporated milk like so many other recipes.  This version is lightly spiced which allows the flavor of the squash to come through nicely.
