That's right this month's Challenge is PIE. Looking through the past challenges I realized that most of those could be made into a pie of some sort. So lets think about the humble PIE (sorry couldn't resist) It can be sweet, or savory it can have a crust, or be crustless, it could fruit, veg, meat, fish, cheese and if it has a crust that could be made of anything too so really the sky's the limit isn't it?

I hope this is a good challenge topic and I'm looking forward to some creative entries so put on your thinking caps and good luck.

(now for the usual disclaimer: only entries made in the month of October 2015 are valid)

Good thing I just went apple picking!

I'll win this challenge. I'll present only 1 pie, but it will be enormous.

I'll win based on hugeness, rather than quality. My new wicked strategy!

@Mike9 PIE!!!

I Love PIE!!

I was just going through my 'Recipe Binder' and found an old recipe

for a savory pie that I thought my husband would like.

We'll give it a go.

Time to take my signature pie and kick it up a notch or two!

Good thing I just rendered duck fat!  In the freezer I have leaf lard from a heritage pig breed and duck fat.  Time for a side by side pie crust comparison experiment!

Winning this challenge should be easy, as as, uh, making a winning dish!

I did a really cheesy thing last month, I'll have to come up with something crusty this month.

Strawberry Rhubarb Pie

Fresh rhubarb from the garden, the best crappy strawberries I could find, sugar substitute (I'm diabetic) Stevia Baking Blend, tapioca to bind and a splash of Mexican Vanilla.

For the topping, Rolled oats, flour, corn starch, butter, brown sugar substitute and Saigon Cinnamon.

So in this context is a pizza pie a "pie" ??

I have no ideas for pie yet but this challenge reminds me of the movie "Waitress",  a great movie centered around a pie shop. If you haven't seen it, this would be the month to do so. 

     I did just see some pears at the market today. Perhaps…..

I thought we decided they were casseroles?

 

[teamfat]

Indeed!

But you roll out a crust, you put stuff on it and bake. Life can be so difficult at times.

Only in Chicago

If a pizza is a pie, is a pancake a casserole?

Happy Cooking!
