Pie really is easy, and it is so delicious when it is kinda warm, after it has cooled a bit from the oven heat. French vanilla ice cream goes so well with it, that it makes you forget your troubles. It is a stress-buster, and somehow makes you feel like a child again. Pies can be bought in the store ready-made, or in can, just pour and bake. My feeling is to go for a little bit of work for a truly scrumptious treat. You can have some fun with your children or a date, or significant other making a homemade pie. Just buy a pie crust from the grocery, or make one from salt, flour and butter. (easy) There are so many recipes out there, you can just google it, or go to myrecipes.com or allrecipes.com and search for one that fits you! The filling can be fresh fruit, canned fruit, frozen fruit. It can be one berry, or a medley or flavors. You usually just have to add sugar, pectin, and/or tapioca, and cover it (don't forget to poke holes in the pie crust on the bottom before you bake it! I am not even going to post a recipe here. It really is very easy to make a good pie compared to the enormous taste and satisfaction you get from making it at home. You might get the fever for it and make some to give away to friends, family, or it can be given as an offering at a dinner party. Anybody can just go buy a pie, but if you make it with your own hands, everyone will know it, and the thanks will be coming your way! Get ready!

Kitchen Tip: Put a cookie pan under any pie that you bake, just in case it spills over from the edges. It is much easier to clean than if it gets baked into the oven surface!
