Happy (Gluten-Free) Pi Day!

Today is March 14, also known as Pi Day. According to PiDay.org, "Pi Day is celebrated on March 14th (3/14) around the world. Pi (Greek letter “π”) is the symbol used in mathematics to represent a constant — the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter — which is approximately 3.14159."

One of my best friends is getting married today and instead of wedding cake she's having PIE! She even went as far as ordering a gluten-free pie to make sure I had something to eat. If that isn't a good friend, I don't know what is.

In honor of Pi Day, I thought I would post links to recipes of some of my favorite bloggers.

GFJules: Gluten-Free Pie Crust

Gluten-Free Easily: Easy "Crustless" Apple Pie

Gluten-Free on a Shoestring: Gluten-Free Coconut Cream Pie

Against All Grain: Grain-Free and Dairy-Free Pumpkin Pie

And for those of you (like me) that don't bake at all, I recommend Molly's Gluten-Free Bakery in Wisconsin. They had one of the best gluten-free apple pies that I have ever eaten. Good news is that they ship nationwide!

What's your favorite gluten-free pie recipe? Feel free to post the link below.

Glutino Pretzel Pie Crust

I read this recipe two weeks ago in the Glutino e-newsletter. I have two big bags of Glutino pretzels at home. After some recent oral surgery, I won't be able to eat them for a while so I might try making this pie crust. It sounds interesting.

Glutino Pretzel Pie Crust
3/4 cup butter, softended
2 tbsp brown sugar
2 1/2 cups of crushed Glutino pretsels

Mix these together, and press the mixture into a 9-inch pie pan. Bake this in the oven for 6-8 minutes at 350°F, and it's ready! Try filling this with strawberries and whipped cream for an easy desert, or a strawberry pie if you're feeling adventurous!
