Pie for Dinner: Puff Pastry Tart with Prosciutto & Peaches
Cutting corners is the heart of this puff pastry tart. There are times when a day spent laboring over a pie crust is worthwhile, creative, and renewing. There are other days when a loose "recipe," grilled vegetables, and more time spent with friends is the more meaningful choice.

Pie for Breakfast: Homemade Whole Grain Pop Tarts

Whole Grain Peach Pie for Annie
As much as this whole grain peach pie was a gift for Annie, it was also a gift for me. It felt so good to be able to bake for someone else again, to share, even if sharing looks differently these days. It felt reviving to truly play with food again, not for work, not for money but for the delight of someone else.

That's challenging enough, but then, you want to make a gluten free whole grain pie crust? Well, here it is!

Turmeric Pie with a Gluten Free Crust
You won't be able to share this Turmeric Pie with everyone, but it's a step in the right direction. It's dairy free, but it's not vegan. It's gluten free, but it's not nut free. It's an attempt to share, and if you really know your crowd, it just might work. The main offender for my crowd was gluten, so this Turmeric Pie did the trick.
