{if your life was a pie.....what kind would you be?}

that is the question Jo Packham asked me

when she wanted me to contribute a pie recipe

for her new book

Pie*ography

so this is what I came up with.....

Baked Raspberry

Pink Meringue Pie

with a

Rich Chocolate Crust

does this sound like me? 

this book is filled to the brim with yummy sweet and savory pies

~a pie lover's dream~

pop on over here to take a closer look

if your life was a pie.......what kind would it be?

a wee little SHARING note......

Why my life is like my baked raspberry pink meringue pie with a rich chocolate crust ..............

Raspberries, sweet raspberries, little bundles of joy. My pie would have to be filled 
with these little parcels of pure goodness. My pie, like my life, is filled with many sweet 
blessings—oodles of little joys, like raspberries. 
Of course, not every day is filled with sweetness. Just like the berries in my pie, not 
every berry is perfectly sweet, plump, and juicy. There are some small sour ones and 
old mushy ones. I cannot possibly pick out every bad berry before I make my pie; I 
know the bad ones will cook up with the sweet juicy ones, and my pie will taste amazing 
even with the bad ones still in. Just like life, the bad days get absorbed by the good days 
when you take time to focus on the blessings all around you. There’s always more to be 
thankful for than not. Finding the joys makes for one incredibly sweet life.
A rich chocolate crust combines perfectly with sweet raspberries. My life is rich in 
spirituality, the foundation I live and grow by. If I did not have my feet planted firmly 
on rich spiritual ground, it would be hard for me to recognize these blessings and joys 
of mine. Spirituality and blessings go hand in hand, just like the firm pie crust that holds 
the juicy berries in place. 
What would life be like without a little bit of whimsical fun—hence the pink meringue 
topping! I am happiest when surrounded by soft pinks, an oh-so-sweet girly color that 
makes my world fanciful and fun. I love using my imagination to bring smiles to the 
faces around me. And a raspberry pie topped with mile-high fluffy PINK meringue: now 
if that doesn’t make you smile, nothing will.
