. . .also known as our official kickoff to the most wonderful time of the year!!
🥧 🥧 🥧
This past weekend we hosted our 4th annual pie party! It’s a fun tradition that we started back in the fall of 2019 while living in Texas, took a couple of (unwilling!) years off while we waited to move into our home & get married, and gladly resumed last year with our first time getting to host again in NC!
The assignment is easy, everyone simply brings over their most delicious pie!
The pies can be–
homemade or store bought. . .
savory or sweet. . .
warm or chilled. . .
and we like to try and keep it a secret because it’s always a fun surprise to see what our guests end up bringing over that night. Surprisingly, we always seem to end up with a pretty even ratio of savory to sweet, and we’ve never had two of the exact same pies. We might end up with similar types of the same pie, but very different variations from recipes/concepts/presentations.
This may have been our largest pie turn-out yet, because we very much needed two tables to display all of the deliciousness that arrived!
It’s always fun to gather around with friends, even if only for a few hours, to kick off this busy time of the year! We ended the evening relaxing around our firepit and sipping on some leftover warm apple cider Phil had mulled for the party.
Looking forward to even more pies on the menu for Thanksgiving this next week, and curious what YOUR favorite pie is, whether or not it’s traditionally served at Thanksgiving 🥧
