How to Make the Easiest Valentine’s Day Treat Ever

Classic Blueberry Pie

Sometimes, nothing's better than the classics. The blueberry and the pie crust of this recipe have the blue and the white covered, but feel free to add some red food coloring to make this recipe extra patriotic. (via Brit + Co)

S'mores Brownie Pie

Let's start things off with a firecracker bang. This is a s'mores pie. In other words, it is a decadent treat that should probably make an appearance at every picnic, barbecue and Fourth of July celebration you attend this summer. (via Averie Cooks)

Frozen Strawberry Lemonade Pie

Light, refreshing and reminiscent of a classic summer beverage, this strawberry lemonade pie is great for hot summer days. You don't have to serve it with a glass of strawberry lemonade, but we wouldn't blame you if you did. (via Neighborfood)

End of Summer Pie

By the time 4th of July comes around, we have more than enough berries on our hands. A quintessential summer treat, this triple-berry pie combines some of the best flavors of the season under a pretty lattice crust, and cleans out your fridge at the same time. (via Tartelette)

Apple Pie Tacos

If you see your Independence Day being full of adventure and traveling, you might want to opt for these travel-sized pies. Apple pie is a summer classic, and if you're feeling Southern, add some slabs of cheddar cheese on top (trust us). (via Brit + Co)

Blackberry Cardamom Hand Pies

Rumor has it that hand pies are good for portion control, but that seems to only be true if you can keep yourself from eating five in one sitting. Trust us, it's harder than it sounds. The combination of spice and summer fruithere is extra hard to resist. (via A Cozy Kitchen)

Blackberry Lime Pie

While we're on the subject of new spins on summer fruits, this blackberry lime pie is infinitely worth your consideration. It's like a margarita that you can eat. (via Bakers Royale)

Strawberry Mug Pies

This is pie in a mug. Pie. In. A. Mug. Plus, sweet summer strawberries always make things better. You can thank us later. (via How Sweet It Is)

Plum Pie

Sweet and tart, this pie combines the flavor of grapes and fresh plums to make a summer pie with intense flavor. In addition to the killer flavor, we love that this pie comes with a hack: just use a can of grape jelly to help make the filling. (via Saveur)

Strawberry Rhubarb Pie With Rose Scented Whipped Cream

It's the rose-scented whipped cream that truly caught our attention here, and we're pretty sure that we're going to add it to every dessert recipe for the rest of the summer. (via Heart of Gold)

Crack Pie

The original pie can be found at Momfuku Milk Bar. To make it yourself, it demands a moderate chunk of time and has a lot of ingredients… but its name does not lie. So addicting! Don't worry about bringing any Tupperware. You won't need any. (via Averie Cooks)

Mojito Pie

A minty, Mojito-inspired twist on a classic Key Lime Pie. This is our idea of a great happy hour. (via Gimme Some Oven)

Buttermilk and Honey Pie

A custard-based pie, this sweet treat is easy to whip up and would taste fantastic alongside a pile of summer berries. Sprinkle some sugar overtop of the berries beforehand to make them extra sweet. (via A Beautiful Mess)

Sour Cherry Pie

Rumor has it you should eat this pie's leftovers for breakfast. Who'd say no to that? (Not us). (via Bon Appetit)

Key Lime Pie

The coconut graham cracker crust on this pie sounds extra refreshing for summer weekends, and make sure you keep it in the fridge right up until you're ready to serve. (via Port and Fin)

Deep Dish Berry Pie Tart

We'd never argue with a cream cheese pie crust. Or a deep dish pie. Ever. Grab some extra whipped cream to balance out all those extra berries. (via Sprinkle Bakes)

Lemon Raspberry Pie Crust Hearts

Just in case you have a little extra crust left over at the end of your kitchen adventure, these pie crust hearts have your name written all over them. (via Joy The Baker)

This pie features fresh berries and cream cheese, all wrapped up in a delicious Nilla Wafer crust. It's okay, our mouths are watering too. (via Brit + Co)

What is the Oh Canada movie about?

Oh, Canada Plot

Oh, Canada follows the life of legendary (albeit fictional) filmmaker Leonard Fife. This story probably approaches Leo's career the way we think about Steven Spielberg's. AKA, he's very important. Leonard decides to tell his life story before he runs out of time. And even though he's got an impressive resumé, he also has to decide if he wants his Vietnam draft dodge and sticky relationships to become public knowledge.

"Leonard sits for an extended interview with his former student Malcolm (Michael Imperioli), relating candid stories about his younger self (Jacob Elordi) in the tumultuous 1960s and beyond," the synopsis says, adding that "at Leonard’s insistence, his wife and indispensable artistic partner, Emma (Uma Thurman), bears witness to it all."

How to watch Oh Canada?

Oh, Canada Release Date

Jacob Elordi's new movie is coming to theaters December 6, 2024 — the same day as Rachel Zegler's Y2K and Amy Adams' Nightb—ch!

Who's in the movie?

Oh, Canada Cast

The cast of Oh, Canada includes Richard Gere, Jacob Elordi, Uma Thurman, Michael Imperioli, and Victoria Hill, while the movie is written and directed by Paul Schrader (who also worked with Richard on 1980's American Gigolo!

What has the cast said about the movie?

Uma Thurman has been vocal about how excited she is to be a part of the project and told Deadline the movie feels like a "reverie" and has a "lyrical, sort of loosely knit, poetic" quality about it.

"The cinematic hand of Paul, of course, carried the day, as far as bringing this sort of illusionary dream together into something that you walk away from with the strong impression of a story," she says. "Just the presence of a master like Paul Schrader on a set of any size, is as distinct as, I don’t know, a warm wind. It’s like the wind that hits you when you get off a plane in the tropics. There’s only one thing of its ilk, and he’s kind of a master like that. You could really be anywhere; you can’t miss it."

That sounds like my kind of movie.

Director Paul Schrader revealed he fell in love with Jacob's performance the moment he saw him — which was before he took the world by storm in Priscilla. “I saw his performance on Zoom and, if this was 40 years ago, this is the guy I would have cast for American Gigolo,” he told The Hollywood Reporter.
