Culinary Adventures with Camilla

When I was brainstorming about what to serve at Jenn's Pi Day birthday party, I was looking for an array of pies to make and asked my hive mind for their favorites. Friends from all around the world gave me suggestions: "Apple is, in fact, my favourite. But Mincemeat is a close second." - Kevin in Germany "My favorite pie is the kind I’m eating." - Deb in Alaska  "Strawberry, Blueberry, Derby Pie (warm pecan with chocolate chips!), Coconut Cream, Lemon Ice Box, sure I can think of more. Can't pick just one!!!" - Anna in California Julie in Texas sent me her family recipe for Shoo Fly Pie. Caiti from Washington, DC, echoed her mom's Shoo Fly Pie, but added St rawberry-Rhubarb as well. "Buttermilk Chess Pie" - Marlene from California "Key Lime!" - Laurel in Florida "French Silk" - Charity in Idaho "All pies, really." - Laura in California And a second vote for Strawberry-Rhubarb and one ...

I have been friends with Jenn since we were in high school. And while most teenagers were probably out on dates on a Friday night, you could usually find me and Jenn at home. Most Friday evenings, we'd have dinner, bake an apple pie, and watch movies. Yes, we were hell-raisers, weren't we? Apple pie and movies... So, when Jenn realized that we were celebrating her birthday on Pi Day (that's 3.14 - March 14th!), we settled on pies as the theme. Naturally, she asked for an apple pie. Done.

Happy Pi Day! Every year Coleen of The Redhead Baker invites her blogging pals to post pie recipes in honor of the day. And, in previous events, I've shared Lamb, Basmati Rice, and Grape Leaf Pi(e)  and   Matcha-Chocolate Pie . And I actually just did a round-up earlier this evening in my post  Mathematics, LEGO, and a Pie Parade . But here's the pie rack for the 2019 edition of #PiDay with Coleen... 4 Ingredient Lemon Ice Box Pie by Creative Southern Home Brownie Pie by Hezzi-D's Books and Cooks Carrot Pie by Savory Moments Grapefruit Pie by Kate's Recipe Box Kentucky Pie by For the Love of Food Key Lime Pie by Simply Inspired Meals Lucky Lemon Pie by The Spiffy Cookie Mexican Chicken Pie by Karen's Kitchen Stories Mini Shepherd's Pies by Cheese Curd In Paradise Mushroom Galette by Caroline's Cooking Rhubarb Berry Pie by The Redhead Baker Sky High S'mores Pie by Food Above Gold Spaghetti Pie by A Day in the Life on the Far...

Coleen,  The Redhead Baker , invited her blogging friends to join her for Pi Day 2018. Last year, for Pi Day 2017, Coleen also hosted and I shared a  Gluten-Free Matcha Chocolate Pie . Back in 2015, Terri of  Love and Confections  wrangled us and I made a savory pie:  Curried Lamb Potpie . I decided that I wanted to try my hand at another savory pie. I will say that our all-time favorite savory pie is my  Seafood Pie . It's my most requested dish from family and friends alike! In fact, I just made one for a friend's birthday dinner last weekend. Supposedly it's "palace food" in Morocco; the birthday girl said she would come wearing a tiara.
