Summer of Pie {Sunday Snapshot}

If you've read for a while, you know that summer in Texas is not really my favorite season.  But I am trying to be really positive this summer and we have tried to plan a fun (and stress-free summer).

One of the things we are doing is making weekly trips to the library.  This week Kate got a book called Amelia Bedelia's First Apple Pie.  It is a very cute book and after reading it, Kate desperately wanted to bake her own pie (she has helped Dave make pies before).  This led to a great discussion and idea in our family.  We decided it would be the Summer of Pie at our house.  Each week we will make a new pie.  This week, Kate wanted an apple pie (although she called it shoo pie).  So, since Dave is the master pie baker in our house, he assisted Kate.  Really, Dave's pies are SO good that people have suggested he start a business!

I love how Kate is looking at her Daddy here:)

She really did everything from peeling apples to rolling dough.

She might have even gotten a little bossy with her assistant;)





Kate was so happy.  She LOVES to cook and bake.  Just loves it.




She even made a little individual one with the leftover dough just as Amelia Bedelia did in the book.



I never even took photos of the finished products after they were baked but they tasted delicious!!!

Harry wants to make key lime pie.  Will wants to make a cherry pie and I am researching a good chocolate cream or grasshopper pie:) Any favorite pie recipes you'd suggest?
