The Easiest Way to Make Your Pie Stand Out from the Rest

Anita Yung
Nov 07, 2016

Whenever the leaves change, the pie cravings come in hot. Amirite?! As you’re no doubt attending cozy dinner parties on the reg, why not give a fresh take on a go-to potluck treat? Forget the traditional pumpkin pie route — it’s time to grab your paintbrushes and channel your inner Picasso. Scroll down to see how easy it is to make your pie the evening’s showstopper.

Materials:

  • pie with a covered top crust (either homemade or store-bought)
  • food dye in various colors
  • various-size paint brushes
  • powdered sugar
  • mini sifter
  • cardstock paper
  • X-ACTO knife
  • pen or pencil
  • cutting mat (not pictured)

Instructions:

1. Pinch a few drops of each food dye coloring onto a plate to create your palette. Dip your paintbrush directly into the food dye and paint your desired shapes right onto the crust. Use the different brush sizes to create lines and shapes.

2. Using your pen or pencil, create a stencil by drawing shapes on your cardstock paper. Using your X-ACTO knife, cut out your tracings on a cutting mat or cardboard.

3. Lay your stencil gently onto your pie and spoon some powdered sugar into your sifter. While holding down your stencil, tap your sifter against your hand and let the powdered sugar fall onto the pie.

4. Slowly lift up your cardstock stencil and repeat until you feel your pie is painted and complete!

We felt it worked best to use food dye without diluting it first. We recommend using a bowl of water to clean your brushes in between colors. Go abstract!

We sugared one stencil at a time, but feel free to draw and cut a complete design on your cardstock paper first and sift sugar on the entire stencil. Using a spoon helps control the speed of the powdered sugar. Go slowly so that the definition of your lines comes through.

Lift your cardstock paper carefully to avoid spilling any extra powdered sugar.

Ride or PIE, y’all.

16 Tasty Spring Pie Recipes to Celebrate Pi Day

Remember PI from math class? That's right, the neverending number (3.14159265359…) is celebrated every March 14 (that's 3.14 — get it?), and it's celebrated with — you guessed it — pie! And although the simple act of enjoying this decadent dessert seems easy enough, as the big day approaches, we're left with a conundrum: What kind of pie is best to honor such a sacred day? There are the tried-and-true apple and cherry pies, winter holiday favorites like pumpkin or pecan pie and even savorypot pie recipes. But those don't do much justice to the wonderfully seasonal ingredients that are filling our farmers markets this spring. March is the start of spring, after all. This Pi Day, bake (or no-bake) your pie in the comfort of your own kitchen. Scroll through these 16 spring pies, and find the perfect pie to celebrate, debatably, the *best* holiday of the year.

All Butter Pie Crust: Make this delicious buttery crust using only FOUR ingredients. It's the perfect base for all your Pi Day treats, no matter the flavor. (via Most Hungry)

Grapefruit Custard Pie: Celebrate spring with a pop of pink. While grapefruit can be one of the more blah brunch items, this flakey-crusted dessert is definitely redefining the appeal of healthy fruits for breakfast. Well, healthy for pie, anyway. (via The Bojon Gourmet)

Blueberry Lavender Meringue Pie: Often when we fantasize about spring, the soothing smell of lavender comes into mind. Give your Pi Day concoction some comforting charm by adding a fragrant twist to a classic blueberry dessert. (via Montreal Gazette)

Chilled Grapefruit-Caramel Meringue Pie: Is there anything more tempting than the gooey dribble of freshly made caramel? Throw in the tart taste of grapefruit and some sweet and fluffy meringue, and that won't even be a question. (via Food & Wine)

Spring Vegetable Pie: Not a huge fan of sweets? Go savory with this seasonal veggie dish. This recipe is for one serving, so you won't ever have to share. Feel free to throw in some of your extra haul from the farmers market. (via Feasting at Home)

Peach Galette: Okay, so a galette isn't technically pie, but with that buttery crust and those oven roasted peaches, we're willing to look the other way. Don't forget the honey vanilla pistachio brittle and cardamom rose whipped cream (now that's a mouthful!). (via Kale & Caramel)

Blueberry Crumble Cream Pie: Nothing says summer like blueberries freshly picked from the organic fruits aisle… or was it the farm? However you're acquiring your daily dose of fruits, just remember to put it into a pie – preferably a cream-filled one. (via I Wash You Dry)

Heirloom Tomato Pie: Put an Italian spin on your next spring pie — and we ain't talkin' pizza. This garden fresh pie is perfect for a savory Pi Day brunch, especially with a bottomless glass of vino. (via The Food Network)

Grandma Inez's Pineapple Cream Pie: Already dreaming about a summer getaway? Start embracing that island life, and kick off a travel-filled summer with a cool and creamy pineapple pie — which actually comes into season during the spring, and brings us joy during all the warm-weather months. (via Tasty Kitchen)

Rosemary Pear Pie: If you're looking to get a little experimental with your next homemade treat, then this rosemary and pear pie is sure to satisfy an adventurous palate. (via coco+kelley)

Raspberry Rhubarb Pie: Now, we're not ones to gossip, but rhubarb's got a new love interest in town (move over, strawberry!), and they're here to make your Pi Day extra sweet! Did we mention this pie's got a cream cheese crust?! (via The Kitchen Paper)

Mango Tart: Healthy never looked so tasty. For a dessert that upholds your New Year's resolutions, this not-so-sinfully-sweet tart is gluten-free, paleo-friendly and vegan. The fact that it looks like a gorgeous spring flower is only the delicious icing on the gorgeous cake – err, pie. (via Bakerita)

Banana Icebox Pie: In the market for a no-bake dessert? For the lazy baker looking to step up her Pi Day game, this banana pie brulee combo is sure to impress pie lovers and haters alike. It's a perfect chilly dessert recipe to make your go-to as spring turns into summer too. (via Martha Stewart)

Strawberry Basil Pie: Check out that crust — the secret ingredient is vodka! Give your traditional strawberry pie an extra kick with the addition of basil and a crisp (alcoholic) crust. (viaTutti Dolci)

Lemon Icebox Pie: Embrace the tart taste of summer with a vibrant and super easy lemon custard pie. This refreshing treat is perfect for keeping you cool from Pi Day to the Fourth of July. (via Life Love and Sugar)

Key Lime Pie Stuffed Strawberries: Take your pie straight up with these bright and bite-sized key lime pies. They're kind of like jello shots… except they're pie! We promise you won't even miss the calories in the usual flour crust. (via Maebells)

Apricot Almond Tart: Forget cake for breakfast — it's all about pie! For a Pi Day treat that screams brunch, this rectangular tart is great for coffee with the gals, or — better yet — kept all to yourself.(via Tartelette)

9 "Surprising" Foods That Taste Better (And Last Longer) Outside The Fridge

Lately, I’ve been paying closer attention to my grocery receipts. It’s not just the price of eggs — everything feels more expensive, and it's made me think more intentionally about how to make my food last longer. I’ve always hated wasting food. Not only is it tough on the planet, it’s tough on my budget, too. Americans toss out about 38 percent of our food — that’s the equivalent of 145 billion meals ending up in landfills (yikes!). Sure, a big chunk of that comes from restaurants, but even at home, being mindful of waste feels like a win for both the environment and my wallet.

So, instead of putting my groceries away haphazardly, I want to make sure I'm storing everything exactly how — and where — it should go. Luckily, I've learned there are some foods that actually last longer outside of the fridge. And they might surprise you!

Scroll to see the foods you don't need to refrigerate after all...

Alena Darmel

1. Cucumbers

I have never left cucumbers outside the fridge, but it turns out that this can cause them to become too watery. Instead, find an airtight containerand store them in your pantry or countertop. Then toss them in this colorful Greek Salad!

Rens D

2. Bell Peppers

Stashing bell peppers in the fridge can actually make them lose their crunch (who knew?). For peak crispness, keep them at room temperature and enjoy within one to two days. If you're not planning to eat them that quickly, pop them in the fridge to help prevent them from going soft too soon.

Elle Hughes

3. Basil

Store your basil as you would a fresh bouquet of flowers, in a jar with water. Cold temps can cause basil leaves to turn black, so it’s better off out of the fridge.

4. Butter (And Peanut Butter!)

According to the USDA, butter is best used within a day or two at room temperature to preserve its flavor. When I lived in San Francisco, I could leave it out on the counter year-round without worrying about it melting. Now that I’m in a hotter climate, I keep it out most of the year — just not during the peak of summer. Peanut butter also does well at room temperature, staying smooth and spreadable for up to three months (after which you'll need to refrigerate it).

5. Tomatoes

I grew tomatoes in my garden for the first time last year, and nothing beats the taste of one plucked straight from the vine. To keep that juicy , sun-ripened flavor going, store your tomatoes at room temperature on the counter — not in the fridge. Cold temps can dull their flavor and texture. Try making a simple Tomato Confit recipe to drizzle over bread or pasta, yum!

Gil Ndjouwou

6. Avocados

A friend and I were debating whether avocados belong in the fridge — turns out, they don’t. At least, not until they’re ripe. I eat one almost every day, so I go through them fast, but once they ripen, I pop them in the fridge to slow down the over-ripening. If you’re craving Avocado Toast, stash them in a paper bag to speed things up, or just let them ripen naturally in an open container on the counter.

Natalia Olivera

7. Fresh Bread

If you want to get the most flavor (and life) out of your fresh bread, skip the fridge. Refrigeration actually speeds up staling. Instead, store it in a bread box or basket — somewhere that blocks light but still lets it breathe. Planning to eat it the same day? Leaving it uncovered at room temperature works just fine. Otherwise, a paper bag or the freezer are your best options.

Eric Prouzet

8. Potatoes (Sweet or Otherwise)

I like to keep my potatoes and onions tucked away in the pantry where it’s cool and dark. Storing them in a paper bag at room temperature helps preserve their texture and flavor. The fridge might seem like a good idea, but it can actually do more harm than good — the moisture makes potatoes overly sweet and kind of gritty, and the humidity can cause them to mold more quickly.

Kaboompics.com

9. Onions & Garlic

Onions, shallots, and garlic can become moldy when exposed to the high humidity of the refrigerator. Store them in a relatively cool, dry place in your pantry or a cabinet that’s not exposed to light. Your onions will remain fresh and ready to use whenever you need them for recipes like this Spring Veggie Galette that I make every year!
