WHO CAME UP WITH THE PHRASE “EASY AS PIE”

on Sunday I had the baking bug.
i woke up and made Will & I some biscuits.
then I made Pumpkin Spice Oreo Cake bites before church…
(don’t get me started on how good those are…..)
and then during church all I could think about was going home and baking my first pie!
soooo i did.
i called up Taylor, (my friend who just moved to Holladay, score!) asked for a pie dish, and started teaching myself how to bake a pie!
luckily on Saturday I walked over to Tagge’s Fruit Stand down the street from the cottage and got another basket of fresh peaches.
i used the recipe: Fresh Peach Pie Recipe and it was a success!
(however… I am not a nutmeg fan. so if you aren’t either just add more cinnamon!)

 

here were my lessons learned after making my first pie:
1. it is a labor of love
2. it takes patience that i don’t have (refrigerating the dough for 1 hour? i lasted 10 minutes)
3. it is impossible for a pie to look semi pretty. especially once baked! but it’s the taste that counts? right?
4. Utah peaches will forever have my whole heart. and a pie was the perfect compliment
5. Apple Pie next
6. i want names for who came up with the phrase “Easy as Pie”
