Lemon Meringue Pie is my husbands favourite pie, it was the first pie I ever made! Today was our anniversary and I wanted to surprise my hubby with this pie! I only made lemon pie filling from scratch a few times and many years ago….I always relied on Shirrif filling.
Its been a while now since I have made this pie, I have no idea why I was nervous about it, maybe because the filling at times gets runny and the meringue shrinks…not this time…this time it turned out perfect!
My dad’s favourite pie is rhubarb pie! However he does not like strawberries mixed in with it! Well maybe after this pie he might just change his mind! I had 4 cups of cut of rhubarb, which I thought would be enough but the pan I used I guess was deep and it just didn’t look like enough filling….I had some strawberries and as much as my dad doesn’t like them….I had no choice! I sliced them strawberries up and mixed them in with the rhubarb!
I was worried that it would be too watery, I never baked anything strawberry…to my surprise it wasn’t bad at all, it turned out great! In fact last time I made rhubarb it was more messy than this one!
My family loves when I make them apple pie…..thing is I like Dutch apple and my hubby likes a pie crust on top! Kids like both, so this way is perfect! Making them into individual pies makes everyone happy! I make them in a Texas muffin pan, if you don’t have one I am sure a regular muffin pan would work.
This was my first time making rhubarb pie….and preparing rhubarb for that matter! My dad loves rhubarb pie, so I was determined to make it! I am so glad I did! He loved it!
The first day the pie was a bit tangy, but by the next day it was sweet and tasted even better!
This is our families favourite pumpkin cheesecake, reason it kinda taste like a pie hence the name ‘Pumpkin Pie Cheesecake’! We love our pumpkin pie and we love cheesecake! Since cheesecake is filled with fat and calories I make mine light so my kids can get away with more slices than one!;)
Pumpkin pie pumpkins……every time fall comes around I get so excited! I call it pumpkin season! You can make so much with pumpkin….cakes, pies, pancakes, muffins even soup!
My mom lived in Holland for 7 years and 7 years in Sweden as a kid, and while she lived there she learned how to make Dutch apple pie. In Sweden they don’t use crust, its more like apple crisp here in North America. I can never make mine like hers….no matter how many times I try! But that doesn’t stop me from making it!!:) Even though she says mine taste just like hers…..I will always like hers better!:)
