pies for pi day

I think I’m exposing some of my nerdiness by actually making a post in celebration of Pi Day (3.14), but why wouldn’t you want to celebrate it? You get to eat PIE! In fact at 3:14 today my office is partaking in a massive pie sampling and I’ll give you one guess who planned that event…I think that’s why they put me in charge of the Fun Committee.

Anyway, instead of rounding up the basic apple and cherry pie recipes, I found some alternatives to share; all sound amazing and all still technically fit into the pie category so they are totally fair game for today.

(Starting at top left and going clockwise)

//1. Chocolate Whoopie Pies with Baileys Butter Cream. Whoopie! Pie! Plus there’s Baileys in it, so its good for St. Patty’s, too. From Jo Cooks

//2. Homemade Oatmeal Cream Pies. You can’t go wrong with Little Debbie, and homemade versions are even better. From Cooking Classy

//3. Individual Strawberry Cream Pies in mini mason jars will help curb your pie craving without going overboard. From Damn Delicious

//4. These Mini Pecan Pies (ok, technically they’re tarts, but they look like mini pies) are adorable and look delicious. From Sugary Winzy

//5. What’s Apple Pie without ice cream? Not as good, that’s what. These Baked Apple Pie Ice Cream Bowls look fantastic. from Domestic Fits
