I'm a little obsessed with this one. I'm going to be honest with you. I wasn't always a pie person...I would actually pass on pie. I know! It seems a bit ridiculous given that blueberry pie, well any pie for that matter, is SO good. Perhaps it was my youth and my love for Oreo cookies that got in the way. But now... NOW...I'm obsessed. Are you also obsessed? There is no dessert out there that is more comforting than a piece of warm crumbly pie. This blueberry crumb pie is … [Read more...]

S’mores Pie
Do you want some more pie? Trust me...you do! I made a S'MORES PIE people! I was talking with my family about ideas for my blog a few weeks ago and I mentioned how much people love all things s'mores during the Summer. I already have S'mores Bars on the site so I wanted to make something different, a cookie?, a dip?, a parfait? All sound amazing right? Then I brought up a pie and they were all like UM YES. Would you like to see a cookie, a dip or a parfait, too? I think a cookie would be … [Read more...]
Pumpkin Pie
So Pumpkin Pie... It's such a classic Thanksgiving dessert isn't it? Do you like pumpkin pie? A lot of people don't care for it. I get it...it's not the sweetest of pies and it's definitely an acquired taste and texture. With that said, I LOVE IT. It's light and fluffy and creamy and it's PUMPKIN. I heart pumpkin, especially in the Fall, but who doesn't right? I made a homemade crust for this pie. You can use your own favorite pie crust or even a store-bought one. Crust is … [Read more...]
M&M Cookie Cake
A cookie cake! You dig? I haven't had a "cookie cake" for yeeeears. Did you get them as a kid like I did? There was a store in the mall that we would always get them at. Gosh they were good. We usually got chocolate chip and it had frosting on the edges. I could seriously eat the entire thing cake. I took a slightly different approach to this cookie cake recipe. I used M&M's (obviously) and a sugar cookie dough versus a chocolate chip cookie dough. There is something about … [Read more...]
Pumpkin Fluff Pie
This pie... makes me so incredibly happy. It's easy, fluffy, delicious, and so fall. I am not a huge fan of traditional pumpkin pie, but I eat it because, well, it's pumpkin pie and it really only comes around once or twice a year. However, I do love this Pumpkin Fluff Pie because it tastes similar to a traditional pumpkin pie, but it's a little sweeter, a little fluffier, and soooooo creamy. I mean come one, look at this fluff! Did I mention this is crazy easy to make too? It's … [Read more...]
Heath Bar Fluff Pie
I hope you have a sweet tooth. Remember I told you that I was making a special pie for Vin's Birthday? Well here it is! Heath Bar Fluff Pie. Let me tell you...it is absolutely 1oo percent delicious and SWEET. If you haven't noticed, I love to use cream cheese in baking because, well...I just love cheese, but besides that I like how it compliments sweet flavors. Here it mostly works as a thickener but it does provide something that is NOT sweet to the pie - if you check out the … [Read more...]
