March 14. 3.14 - get it?
Naturally, we couldn't let such an auspicious occasion pass by uncelebrated.
We've got tons of pie-related freebies to share!
First off, check out this piece on the most unusual pies in NYC (Grasshopper Pie, anyone? How about Crack Pie?) via Red Tricycle.
Next, how about a recipe for Guilt Free Apple Pie courtesy of "SKINNY SPICES: 50 Nifty Homemade Spice Blends That Can Turn Blah Healthy Eating Into Flavor-Rich Delicious Dining" by Erica Levy Klein, the completely searchable cookbook from Alina Adams Media.
GUILT-FREE APPLE PIE
Yield: 4 servings
4 apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
1 12-ounce can low-calorie lemon-lime soda
