Flea Market Pie Pan
I posted a few weeks ago that my mother gave me her Corelle corn flower pie pans and how that was a rite of passage. I used them and my pie completely ran over into the oven, similar to what happened when she used them. My theory is that the pie pans are smaller, thoughContinue reading “Flea Market Pie Pan”

Another pie toy! I bought this great covered plastic serving plate at my local housewares store to use on my patio. It will be fab for taking pies to parties.
