I love summer produce. As soon as the cherries appear at the farmers’ market, I know that apricots, peaches, and plums won’t be far behind. But those aren’t the only summer fruits I look forward to. I also love heirloom tomatoes. Not only are they gorgeous, they taste so sweet, it’s really like another piece… Continue reading Heirloom Tomato Galette

Tortilla Pie
Now that we’ve switched into spring, there are a few holidays coming down the pipe. First was Passover and Easter, then there’s Cinco de Mayo, Mother’s Day and Memorial Day. After that, we’re into June, the end of school and then it’s straight onto summer. With so many holidays and events on the calendar, it’s… Continue reading Tortilla Pie
Lemon Lavender Tart
With Easter on Sunday, now’s the time for festive tables and bright colored desserts. Sure, chocolate is always a winner, but with those Easter baskets full of chocolate bunnies and eggs, a fruity dessert seems like the perfect choice to don your table. While strawberries are starting to appear at local farmers markets, Meyer lemons… Continue reading Lemon Lavender Tart
Boston Cream Pie
In case you didn’t hear, today is St. Patrick’s Day and you’re probably seeing a ton of Instagram and blog posts for corned beef and cabbage and green cocktails. (Yes, I did one too.) Well, I couldn’t come up with another corned beef recipe. I mean, how many different ways can you prepare corned beef?… Continue reading Boston Cream Pie
Hoosier Pie
And pie month continues. During the holidays there are two things that often grace tables all over: cookies and pies. While Pumpkin and Apple are the common choices, there are so many alternatives. Chocolate, lemon, cranberry… the list goes on and on. So, in honor of that long list, I’ve decided to whip up a… Continue reading Hoosier Pie
Maple Pie
Pie month continues, and now we’re into December. That means Christmas and Hanukkah are right around the corner and so are days and days of cookies, cakes and plenty of pie. I love a good piece of cake or a delicious chocolate cookie, but nothing beats a stunning pie. Although apple and pumpkin are popular… Continue reading Maple Pie
Leftover Turkey Pot Pie
Thanksgiving is just two days away. And if there’s one thing I love about Turkey Day it’s all the food. There’s turkey, cranberries, sweet potatoes, stuffing and of course dessert. While all those dishes are amazing on Thanksgiving, they’re even better the day after. I love Thanksgiving day leftovers. You could have the same meal… Continue reading Leftover Turkey Pot Pie
Spiced-Lamb and Potato Pie
Since St. Patrick’s Day is right around the corner everyone is seeing green. Shamrocks and leprechauns are in every store window. Corned beef, Guinness and Irish Whiskey are in all the stores and kids everywhere are working hard on their leprechaun traps. While corned beef and Guinness are obvious choices during the green holiday, I… Continue reading Spiced-Lamb and Potato Pie
Cherry Tomato Pie
I love the produce that’s available during the summer. Yes, the stone fruits are exceptional, but there’s another little fruit that starts to appear in July that’s just as amazing but doesn’t get as much publicity because it’s considered more of a vegetable that a fruit. It’s the heirloom tomato. I love heirloom tomatoes. They’re… Continue reading Cherry Tomato Pie
Ginger Plum Pie
I’ve always loved pie. It didn’t matter the flavor. If it was hot and had a flakey crust and maybe even had a scoop of vanilla ice cream melting on top, I was in. My favorite kinds of pie have always been fruit pies. Strawberry, blackberry, blueberry… I could go on and on. Of course… Continue reading Ginger Plum Pie
Autumn Sausage and Apple Pie
A few months ago when fresh apples were just starting to show up at the farmer’s market, I decided to make a pie. But this wasn’t your standard apple pie. I wasn’t testing out desserts for Thanksgiving. Instead, I wanted to make a savory pie for dinner. Something that used the autumn fruit (hence the… Continue reading Autumn Sausage and Apple Pie
