Lemon Meringue Pie
Lemon Meringue pie is an American Classic, we have made it in my family for years and everyone loves it. Recently, here in Italy we were having problems with our cell phone carrier, they kept charging us for extra fees and we had no idea why because the fees were explained in Italian and it didn’t translate well to English when we used Google translate, But our good friend Davide came to our rescue. With a brief phone call to our carrier he resolved our problem and even got some cash back! So for a reward he simply asked for a pie, a lemon meringue pie. Well, that’s easy enough!
Pumpkin Crumb Cake
Keto Pumpkin Marscapone Cheesecake Pie
During a recent dinner party I felt bad serving Tiramasu to our guests and leaving out my Keto crazy husband. So in an act of solidarity I got busy looking for a dessert he could have on the Keto diet. He had already bought a sugar substitute in the form of Erythritol so I was ready to create something delicious for him.
Old Fashioned American Apple Pie
The Autumn air is crisp, the leaves are falling and the apples are ready for harvest. Its time to pack the family up and take a drive to the apple orchards and partake of the yearly tradition of picking apples.
Homemade Banana Cream Pie
Living in Italy is all about eating, especially eating with friends and family, it’s deeply ingrained. So tonight we are invited to some friends house for dinner and I was asked to bring a dessert. I find that desserts in Italy are a little underwhelming. I mean of course there is the fantastic Tiramasu, the incredible Cannolis and the unforgettable Gelato! But cannolis were a little too much work and Gelato has to be gotten fresh from the Gelateria!
Homemade Berry Pie
The other day a friend knocked on my door, when I opened it, there he stood with a big smile on his face holding a white bucket full of the blackest berries you have ever seen. He had just picked the wild blackberries that morning and picked a bucket for us and for himself.
Homemade Cherry Pie from Fresh Cherries

Flakey Buttery Homemade Pie Crust
Look no further, this is the Best Flakiest Butteriest Pie Crust recipe you have ever tasted!! It was passed down to my mother by an elderly friend after she had tasted one of my moms homemade pies. I guess my moms recipe wasn’t quite up to task! I love this recipe because it makes five pies worth of Pie Crust.
The Cherry Tree
I love when the cherries ripen and summers bounty begins with a flurry, the first fruits of the season! My parents planted this cherry tree in their back yared 50 years ago when their dreams were just beginning and their lives together were new. Now my dad is gone and my mom holds down the Homestead. Like the tree they produced beautiful fruit in the form a family that continues to grow to this day.
