- Pie making can take precedence over anything else when you’ve got a craving.
- Even when you try to ignore it by putting on your workout clothes and getting your dog ready for a run… Don’t worry, I took him out after. He still loves me, see? Plus I gave him parts of the crust. ; )
- Get your neighbors’ phone numbers in advance if you know you like to bake and want to avoid trips to the store when you only need a spoonful or two of ONE ingredient. I don’t have my neighbors’ digits. : (
- Texting and asking for an ingredient on Saturday morning sounds way better than knocking on their door… especially when their significant other has spent the night. This was my predicament when I stood staring at my neighbor’s front door after seeing her with her boo the night before. I chose not to knock and turned back to my house in search of another option.
- When you NEED a half a cup of shortening for for your bottom crust, and a half cup for your top crust and you only HAVE 3/4 of a cup… just go to the store.
- Because when you try to stretch it… the universe smacks you upside your dome and makes you drop your spoonful of it right on the kitchen floor. Now you HAVE to go to the store to buy more. #effoffuniverse
- When your pastry is being a b*tch and won’t roll out correctly, DON’T GIVE UP. You’re better than that!
- Sure, I could have saved time had I thrown it away and started over, but I didn’t jack the recipe, I used the exact amount of ingredients and have made it a dozen times. Something was off and I couldn’t tell what it was. So I just made it work. And it did. #takethatsucka
- Don’t pay attention to how much sugar and butter you actually have to use for your desserts… when you make them yourself, you realize how awful they are for you health-wise. Just measure, pour, and move on. Then go back in your brain, rewind, erase, and start recording over it…
- Don’t forget to close and pinch off the sides of the crust, top-to-bottom. ‘Cause if you don’t, blueberries seep out e’erwhere. And the aesthetic is gone.
- Even if it looks a HOT MESS, it’s still tastes awesome.

Aww…Do you have Instagram and I need some tips on running. My breathing sucks. brandy424@hotmial.com
YUM!!!!!!!!!!!
haha I love it. Definitely don’t look at all the butter and sugar going into it! Stressing over that takes away from the happiness of eating it!
When I made chocolate cupcakes with buttercream frosting for my husband’s birthday last month, I almost went into shock when I measured out the sugar. SHOCK. But yeah, now I know.
