This is what I did for most of Friday

Karen's key lime pie

This fresh, delicious, melt-in-your-mouth slice of Key Lime goodness can be yours!* Karen from Sugarplum Fairy is the home-baking master. I had the good fortune of taking a second round of baking photos for Karen but this time the focus was on pies and squares. (Remember last time?)

Here’s her list of offerings. I spent most of yesterday shooting (and, um, SORT OF SAMPLING**) most of the items below. (And I am still processing photos!)

  • Lemon Puff Pie
  • Key Lime Pie
  • Chocolate Walnut Pie
  • Frozen Peanut Butter Pie
  • Butter Tarts
  • Russian Mennonite Paska (Easter bread)
  • birthday or holiday cupcakes
  • Easter sugar cookie cutout kit (everything your child needs to decorate some Easter cookies – cookies, icing and sprinkles)
And new squares including:
  • Old Fashioned Lemon Squares
  • Nanaimo Bars
  • Seafoam Chews
  • Hello Dollies
  • Pineapple Squares
  • Double Brownies

She’s updating the Sugarplum site this weekend. There’ll be more info there soon if you’re interested.

My question for you: is it wrong to have pie for breakfast? :)

 

* Sorry out-of-towners, this is for Ottawa residents only!

** By “sampling” I mean eating crumbs and licking the forks. I did not eat six squares and six slices of pie yesterday. I sweartogod.

Pie for breakfast is a-okay, especially if it’s a fruit pie like Key Lime. We usually make pies in the evening before a holiday and so can’t sample them until the next morning. It’s become a tradition.

There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with eating pie for breakfast. Sweet pie or pizza pie! chocolate cake falls into this same category!

Pie for breakfast is good luck, dontchaknow??

I did a bunch of baking Friday afternoon and so Saturday morning, I thought nothing of grabbing a couple oatmeal raisin cookies to have with my coffee. I added flax meal and wheat germ to them – so along with the whole oats and raisins, they’re a nice high-fiber way to start the day. I can think of worse things to eat for breakfast . . . but if I’d had pie sitting here, I definitely would have chosen that instead. Hands down, no hesitation.

I can’t wait to see the pictures!!
