\"Pie<\/a><\/p>\n

It’s March 14, which as everyone knows (right?) is Pi Day! Why pi? Because pi is 3.14 of course!<\/em><\/p>\n

For the past few years we have had a lot of fun with Pi Day and since we love to spend time in the kitchen, our pi-like celebrations pretty much mean eating pie. Not a whole lot of math, admittedly. But it is fun to have a reason to eat pie!<\/em><\/p>\n

Wait, here is an equation:<\/em><\/p>\n

Pi Day + The Browns = Eat pie!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

There ya go. We’re so math-y.<\/em><\/p>\n

Here are a few suggestions for pies we’ve shared that you can whip up in honor of Pi Day:<\/em><\/p>\n

1)<\/strong> For many pies, you’ll need a good crust to start. Try our Easy Homemade Pie Crust<\/a> as a base for your favorite filling:<\/p>\n

\"Homemade<\/a><\/p>\n

2)<\/strong> Pumpkin pie is always a hit in our house. While it is not the season for fresh pumpkins right now, we still have cans of pumpkin hanging out in our pantry – that means we can whip up this pie in a flash! Abbie made the pie in the picture below all by herself at age 11, so don’t tell us it’s too hard to make a pumpkin pie from scratch<\/a>!<\/p>\n

\"Pumpkin<\/a><\/p>\n

3)<\/strong> Here’s an itty-bitty dessert pie you could make – just call them Strawberry Lemon Dessert Pizza Pies<\/a>!<\/p>\n

\"Strawberry<\/a><\/p>\n

4)<\/strong> We made these Mini Chocolate Kiss Pies<\/a> for our friends at BuildAMenu last year. Another easy and deeeeelicious pie treat:<\/p>\n

\"Mini<\/a><\/p>\n

But wait! Pie doesn’t have to be sweet! <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Every year we usually eat two pies – one sweet and one savory. Here are some non-sugary favorites:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

5)<\/strong> Good ol’ Shepherd’s Pie<\/a>… no crust on this one, but loads of buttery mashed potatoes<\/p>\n

\"Shepherds<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a06)<\/strong> Bird’s Nest Pie<\/a> has a spaghetti crust that kids swoon over. This recipe can be assembled by a six year old! We made this recipe for BuildAMenu:<\/p>\n

\"Bird's<\/a><\/p>\n

7)<\/strong> We don’t want to leave out the “pie” all kids love – pizza! Here are a few ways to throw together a REALLY fast one serving pizza<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\"Mini<\/a><\/p>\n

8)<\/strong> Not small enough for you? How about pizza crackers<\/a>? Easy enough for the litttlest hands!<\/p>\n

\"Pizza<\/a><\/p>\n
