Happy Pi Day!

I absolutely love pie.  Especially after  I finally mustered enough courage and learned to make my own pie dough from scratch.  Below are a few of my favorite pie recipes in honor of "Pi" Day!

Strawberry Rhubarb Pie

Nothing says summer like a strawberry rhubarb pie.  So, for tonight's cookout with family and friends, I knew that that was what I had to make.  First I had to run to the store and grab baskets of strawberries and two stalks of rhubarb.  Then, I used my own basic pie crust and adapted the recipe from Beantown Baker.  I had to substitute the cardamom for nutmeg since I didn't have any in my pantry.

This was an amazing pie!  I've made my share of pies (ie. banana cream pie) but nothing to this caliber.  After today, I'm ready to tackle other seasonal fruit pies now.
