Home Dessert Pies, Pastries & Tarts

Pies, Pastries & Tarts

We have a strong tradition of pie recipes in my family. At holidays, my mom was in charge of ALL the desserts. This usually meant making a vast array pies. The classics include Lemon Meringue Pie, Blackberry Pie, & Pecan Pie.

Later I added my own favorite pies to the mix, like Cranberry Custard Pie. And I even got turned around from a hater to a lover of Apple Pie.

Check out all my tart, pastry, and pie recipes below. You’ve gotta try my favorite scones of all time! If you try one, let me know what you think.
