    Coffee and Pie Chat: Peanut Butter Pie

    Welcome to this month’s edition of Coffee and Pie Chat. We’ve made Peanut Butter Pie with a Chocolate Crust. I’ve always been a big peanut butter fan, however, I don’t often keep it around the house as The HUBS absolutely hates peanut butter. I’m not entirely sure why, but there seems to be some deep dark *something* that we need to explore some day. That being said, I agreed to give this pie a try because peanut butter pie is my youngest daughter’s favorite. Next time I visit her, I hope to make one for her. ABOUT PEANUT BUTTER PIE Overall, this Peanut Butter Pie recipe is easy to follow.…

If not, once you taste this pie, you’ll totally understand. THE RECIPE Pie Crust Make your own or use 9 in pie crust Filling 2…

    Coffee and Pie Chat: We’re Bringing It Back

    Y’all, I’m so excited to share that Kristin and I are bringing back our Coffee & Pie series! We first started our “pie along” in the Summer of 2019, using seasonal fruits like lemons, blueberries, nectarines, and such. It was a fun and most delicious time. I learned a lot about myself — mostly that I really, really like pretty pie plates. I also learned that I cannot make pie crusts. I don’t care how good the recipe is, my pie crusts always taste like flour. So I use store bought crusts and I’m OK with that. Over the past few months, Kristin and I have DMed each other about…
