Strawberry Pie

This is a great Spring-time dessert... Strawberries are coming into season in May and last throughout the summer. My particular favorite is to use locally grown Strawberries, which unfortunately are only available May - early June. This is a cold pie and its a perfect compliment to warm, spring/summertime cook out.

Lemon Meringue Pie

When spring rolls around - it's time to pull out all the stops. After Rhubarb pie, comes Lemon Meringue. I always forget how much I love this pie until I make it again. This recipe is passed down from my Grandmother and I'm happy that I can continue on the tradition. I'm sure it would be great with Meyer Lemons as well, although those tend to be more of a winter fruit.

Milk Chocolate Tart with Pretzel Crust

I found this recipe in an issue of Food and Wine magazine.. and it was discussing the fact that milk chocolate often gets shamed by chefs. So I decided to try and make it and I must say - its fantastic! The mixture of the sweet milk chocolate with the pretzel crust.. and the crushed grey salt on top.. it is absolutely heavenly! You won't miss the dark chocolate one bit! (although I have to admit I kinda cheated and did about 1/3 dark chocolate with the milk chocolate... I didn't want it to be TOO sweet).

Rhubarb Pie

Rhubarb is an interesting ingredient for a pie, but when done right its delicious! The tartness of the rhubarb is offset by the sweetness of the pie. You'd almost think you were biting into a raspberry pie! I always use fresh, seasonal fruits and vegetables. Crusts are also homemade using the best ingredients and lots of care!

Other pies I can make:

• Peach
• Apple
• Blueberry
• Blackberry
• Raspberry
• Strawberry
  
• Buttermilk
• Key Lime
• Lemon Ice Box
• and more still to come... I'm willing to try anything!
