{Gotta See} Amazing Food Blog: Waiting for Gateau

I stumbled upon this site that was sooooo amazing that I had to post about it. It's Called Waiting for Gateau While browsing through amazing photos of their recipes I read that they was trying to preserve their family recipes and that is so great. I think you're going to like how basic but delicious these recipes are.....meaning they don't have an overwhelming amount of ingredients and are easy to put together. I can't wait to make the peach pie with the streusel topping, and then there's the tarts and the cookies and the savory recipes. Take a look below and I think you'll agree with me that Chris is an amazing baker.

The first recipe I tried was this yummy frosting recipe. We were making our Easter cookies and I wanted a spectacular frosting and that is exactly what I got. You'll be surprised at the ingredients that make it such a smooth and creamy frosting. Your sugar cookies are going to be so delicious!  Below are some recipes that I know you are going to have to try. Bon Appetit!

Instead of just putting a glass jar 

of apple cider out....put a ring of apples around it. Such a simple idea

{9} Pies for Thanksgiving-Large & Mini plus a Cookbook for Cutie Pies

    We all have pie for thanksgiving and so I thought I'd gather up some new recipes. It's nice to follow traditions from year to year but it's also nice to change things up a bit. I'm even going to try to make the pies this year-I'm leaning towards the mini pies.You say you don't know how to make pie crust? Well, there's a tutorial for that below
  

You CAN make your own pie crust, and it will be easy once you get over the fear.  Find this recipe Here 

Need a pie crust video/tutorial?  Here's a video showing the step-by-step process for making Pie Crust from Ina Garten.  She makes it look soooo Easy! (She's making the apple pie recipe that's shown below) 

Here's the Apple Pie recipe shown in the video above from Ina Garten (Barefoot Contessa-Foodnetwork.com) It's a deep dish apple pie that looks wonderful.  Get the recipe Here

Then there's the pumpkin pie recipe from Williams Sonoma  I love the cutouts they have put around the edge.  You  can pick them up at Williams Sonoma.

Here's a different kind of pumpkin pie--Pumpkin ice cream pie.  Find the recipe Here

These mini cherry pies look yummy and are just the right size!  Find the recipe Here

Try this mini peach pie. Yum-O  Find the recipe Here

This is called Mile-High Lemon Meringue. We always have to get a lemon meringue pie for our Thankgiving.  Find this recipe Here

Betty Crocker calls this pie "Impossibly Easy Pumpkin Pie"  The name says it all.  Get the recipe Here

This Pecan Pie recipe is from the Pioneer Woman, Ree Drummond. It looks out of this world!  Get the recipe Here

Here's a newly released cookbook featuring pies in a jar or a muffin tin. What a great idea. Make individual pies for your family and friends. It will allow you to make several different types of pie without making one large pie of each flavor.  For our Thanksgiving we have specific pies that we have to buy.....you know, everyone has their favorite. And we always have so much pie leftover. This will solve that problem.  The author, Dani Cones, was on Martha Stewart on October 3rd. Here is that Video  She also shares the recipe for her peach pie that she makes in a muffin tin.  Bite sized pies are great because you can sample more than one kind of pie and not over due it.  Now I'm sure you're going to want to purchase the book so here is a link to Amazon.com where you can pick up a copy. I'm getting one!

This is the year that you tackle the project you've been wanting to do----making pies.... Let's do it together.....Yeah, You've Got This!
