AmyMy latest order from Penzey Spices arrived the other day. Among the wonderful goodies in the box was Pie Spice. Not Pumpkin Pie Spice. Not Apple Pie Spice. Just Pie Spice. Needless to say, I was pretty damn excited. This blend contains several varieties of cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, vanilla sugar... I began to give serious thought to what kind of pie to bake. Then I remembered that I had fresh plums that needed eating. And I found the perfect recipe. I had to ad lib here and there and I remembered to up my ingredients for the pie shell. Banner day. Purple Plum Pie from Farm Journal's Complete Pie Cookbook The Farm Journal says this pie is vest when faintly warm with nippy cheese (?) slices or scoops of ice cream. I just enjoyed it with some ginger tea myself.
I used combo of raw sugar and Nektor honey granules sparingly because I wanted to taste the plumbs and pie spice. I was not disappointed. And as you can see by the photo my next kitchen investment should be a pie knife. GeorgiaOh my goodness. This week for the first time ever I made Whoopie Pies. Many years ago as a very young girl (we won't say how long ago, but let's just say it was a VERY long time ago) My family and I along with my father's cousin and his family spent several weeks in Lancaster County PA's Amish country. There are many things I remember about the trip. Several I'd rather not.. But one in particular was going to an Amish market and having a whoopie pie for the very first time. It was so yummy.. So this week my goal was to attempt to recreate one. But with a bit of fall flavor. I was not disappointed at all. Ginger Bread Whoopie Pies INGREDIENTS Cookies

Nikita One of the most beautiful things I think I've ever created: Paula Deen's Fruit Tart. The birthday squad strikes again this week at work except this time, the celebrated team member asked me to make whatever I wanted because he knew it would be fantastic. What a compliment!! 😄 On a different note, my boss paid me to make more of those Peach Hand Pies I made a few weeks ago. She wants to enter them into a bake-off contest at a manager's meeting. 😎 My first paying customer. Ingredients
