You almost have to go to Florida for a delicious slice of heaven. Because I wanted it to be successful the first time around, I decided to go with Celebrity Chef Emeril Lagasse's recipe. So glad I did...Read More Category Pie

Anyone who has taken a bite of this $44.00 Milk Bar best selling pie, immediately knows the reason for the sassy name. Once you start eating this gooey rich butter filled, salty-sweet pie with its toasted oat cookie crust, you won't be able to stop. A recreation of the famous Crack Pie from Momofuku Milk Bar in NYC. You must make this at least once in your lifetime. The recipe calls for two 9-10 inch pies. Read More

I have never purchased frozen pie shells before. After finding an old recipe in my grandmothers recipe box that called for an unbaked pie shell it made me realize that I don’t always have to make crust from scratch. And that some people just don’t have the time. With that said, I decided to trial this pie using frozen pie crust...Read More
