Pies Galore

It's been a pielicious month in the Smalltown household.

First, there were chicken pot pies, creatively using up various leftovers.
I knew I would have a use for the little aluminum pans someday!
Frank made 2 batches of dough; I put together the filling.
We ended up with 8 little pies.



With a beautiful golden glow from the egg wash.




There was enough dough left for a small pie.
Frank chose apple cranberry, and baked it in my grandmother's little pan.
(I once had a bigger pan of hers but broke it while serving a cheesecake.
I did save the cheesecake.)
.




Most recently we had a blueberry pie for the Handy Husband's birthday.
That is made in one of my classic Watkins pie pans.



That white lump in the bowl in the foreground? I had a Close Encounter with the whipped cream.

  1. Pushing Daisies lives in your kitchen!!! i'm loving it!!
    I actually was watching that tonight and thought of you....i think the boys need t-shirts from the Pie Hole that say something like "i am the pie maker"!!

    i'm now going to come up with a way to get one of those pot pies over here....it may be tricky, but, if you seal the box right.....
