All Pies

Meringue can be a challenge, even for experienced bakers!  This version is said to be foolproof, holding its own even in damp weather. 

What's not to love about coffee, chocolate and cream?  Add a rich pastry and, well, it's enough to make even a barista's mouth water.  And the judges liked it, too.  It took a blue ribbon!"

Peach pie is my favorite, made with ripe, juicy, flavorful peaches.  This recipe saves those perfect peaches from summer time as frozen slices so that you can enjoy great peach pie all year.  Really, I was pleasantly surprised at how good this is!  The judges thought so, too, giving it a blue ribbon at the state fair this year.

This crust recipe is tried and true:  flaky and light, with just enough salt to complement a sweet pie or tart.  Complete directions are included, so even a novice baker can be proud!

It's a winner!  It took a blue ribbon at the NM State Fair pie contest in 2013.  Plus, even better, it can be made with frozen fruit any time of the year.  Plus it has a beautiful color and deep flavor!

If you like pink, as in pink grapefruit, you'll love this one.  It's very much like the cocktail made with pink grapefruit juice and vodka, served with a rim of salt (like a margarita).  It's refreshing and different, perfect for a summer party.

This is like those chocolate minty cookies sold by neighborhood girls in the Spring...only more creamy and "adult." A decadent indulgence. (I challenge you to find one ingredient in here with any redeeming nutritional value. But what the heck.)
