I’ve Got a Hankering for Pie

on October 7, 2009

in All Posts

Around 1 PM, I twittered:

And then I drove to the grocery store and bought myself a mini pumpkin pie. 🙂

Hands down the best mid-afternoon snack EVER (I had about 1/3 of the pie):

🙂

I also snacked on grapes:

And dinner was two pieces of veggie pizza (homemade by the Husband) and melon:

I’m still a wee bit hungry and I predict granola and Chobani is in my future. 🙂

After class, I posted this Operation Beautiful note in the bathroom:

What’s your favorite kind of pie? My favorite is Key Lime, but Pumpkin runs a close second!

Afternoon pie is just what we all need some days! I am pretty much obsessed with pumpkin, but oddly enough, I’m not a HUGE fan of the pie. I would so much perfer a pecan or an apple pie.

I don’t think I’ve ever really had a true Key Lime Pie. I think I must change this soon, because I can’t imagine that I wouldn’t love it! 😉

Happy Wednesday Caitlin!

Pumpkin is definitely my favorite–I need to find a mini one like that!
Nikka @ HealthfulGirl October 7, 2009, 8:20 pm
Pumpkin Pie all the way!!!
Amanda October 7, 2009, 8:22 pm
Coconut cream and pecan are my favorites! And now I want some… hehe.
MelissaNibbles October 7, 2009, 8:24 pm
I’m a member of Team Cake! No pie for me. I’ve never liked it. I always bake a red velvet cake on Thanksgiving in protest 🙂
Allison October 7, 2009, 8:26 pm
PECAN PIE…. YUUUUM!
Evan Thomas October 7, 2009, 8:27 pm
I make a crustless pumpkin pie that’s as light as any in terms of calories and texture. It’s almost more of a mousse, and it’s absolutely delicious. I can’t wait to break it out for Thanksgiving

Chocolate Silk from Marie Callanders. And I’m not even a pie lover.

OMG that looks so good. I cant wait for pumpkin pie!
angieinatlanta October 7, 2009, 8:32 pm
Yum! I love a good pumpkin pie! I’m definitely a big fan of strawberry or blueberry pie but only in the summer.

Great afternoon snack idea!
Courtney October 7, 2009, 8:33 pm
I love dutch apple pie! The crumb topping is just so delicious. Cherry pie is very very close second.
Anne P October 7, 2009, 8:36 pm

Abby (Abby's VeGaN Eats) October 7, 2009, 8:37 pm
Gotta love good ol apple pie (the co-op by us makes dairy-free!) YUMM. 🙂
Gloria October 7, 2009, 8:38 pm
Awesome choice on the pie! Pumpkin pie is definitely my favorite. Peanut butter pie is soo good too but my stomach can only handle a tiny bit.
Kirsten October 7, 2009, 8:38 pm
Pumpkin pie and Banoffee pie if banoffee actually counts as pie, YUM

Julia October 7, 2009, 8:46 pm
Key lime pie is definitely my favorite, but during the fall, pumpkin is definitely the best, warm with a little ice cream or whipped cream…YUM!
K October 7, 2009, 8:48 pm
Pumpkin pie!! One of the best things about fall 🙂

The second? Cider donuts!
AshleyLauren October 7, 2009, 8:49 pm

Cynthia (It All Changes) October 7, 2009, 9:06 pm
I saw you twitter and giggled. I love pumpkin pie. But I would choose lemon meriange or key lime any day over it. I love citrus.
Amanda October 7, 2009, 9:07 pm
Key Lime pie is my favorite too. But pecan is a close 2nd.
Justy2003 October 7, 2009, 9:11 pm
Mom’s apple pie is my favorite! It’s delicious and reminds me of holidays with the family 🙂 I think pumpkin is a close second!

Mica October 7, 2009, 9:33 pm
Mmm, I always have a hankering for pie (but a bigger hankering for cake).

Keylime is probably my favorite because it’s so tart, but I also really like chocolate silk pie. Does that make me a 5 year-old?
Naomi(onefitfoodie) October 7, 2009, 9:42 pm
KEY LIME! hands down is my fav! THEN pumpkin, but pecan pie is so delicious too!

your Pumpkin pie looks amazing! and so does that homemade pizza by the husband!!
Julie October 7, 2009, 9:44 pm
Pumpkin and blueberry – my childhood fave.

Pumpkin tops, but as a Texas girl, Pecan runs a very close second!
emily October 7, 2009, 10:20 pm
I love love love key lime pie – I’ve even mixed it in with Greek yogurt! – but this (http://eatventures.wordpress.com/eats/desserts/smores-pie/) kind of kicks its butt!
Lizzy October 7, 2009, 10:39 pm
MMMM pie! love this! I’m so glad the writing is going well! 🙂
Lee October 7, 2009, 10:39 pm
Definitely pumpkin. Although coconut cream is pretty good too. Actually, all pie is pretty good.
Jamie October 7, 2009, 10:39 pm
I love coconut cream! But pumpkin is a definite must for this time of year. 🙂
Madeline @ GreensAndJeans October 7, 2009, 10:47 pm
I am the pumpkin queen, but I have to say sweet potato pie is my absolute favorite!
Aggie October 7, 2009, 10:53 pm
Huge fan of key lime pie! But I’ll take pumpkin pie any day! and mud pie! who am I kidding…I’ll eat any pie! 🙂
Jessie (Vegan-minded) October 7, 2009, 11:02 pm
Aren’t those little Publix pies the cutest? I would have to say my favorite pies are pumpkin and apple, I can’t choose between the two. I really love key lime too 🙂
Amy October 7, 2009, 11:29 pm
Wow, I wonder when I last had pie! I love blueberry, peach, or apple cobbler. But my favorite Thanksgiving pie is Mincemeat Pie! It is so decadent, and I really don’t understand why more people don’t like it!
Whole Body Love October 7, 2009, 11:42 pm
Can I have two faves? Coconut Meringue and Pumpkin with (gasp) Cool Whip.
Liz October 7, 2009, 11:45 pm
Pumpkin pie is for sure my fave! That is a really cute mini pie you got!
Morgan @ Life After Bagels October 7, 2009, 11:48 pm
If my bf walks over and sees the pic of that pie, I am dead meat. I’m making him wait for Sunday, it’s Thanksgiving at my house!
mikey October 8, 2009, 12:10 am
that pumpkin pie looks sooo good! writing a book requires pie, lol. does cheesecake qualify as a pie? 🙂
Felicia October 8, 2009, 12:18 am
I LOVE that you bought a mini pumpkin pie! So delicious. I am a huge fan of mini desserts.

My favorite pie is definitely apple. That’s how I started liking fruit a few years ago. Odd, I know! I’m a work in progress when it comes to the fruit category. 🙂
Diana October 8, 2009, 2:08 am
My fav kind of pie… I honestly love almost anything ahah I don’t usually eat it so I can’t really think of flavors. That little pumpkin pie looks so good!
Sarah @ See Sarah Eat October 8, 2009, 8:38 am
My husband’s aunt makes this chocolate pie around the holidays that is to die for. But I do love pumpkin too. 🙂
Emily (Emily Eats and Exercises) October 8, 2009, 8:48 am
Mmm…Pumpkin Pie. I used to make it for Thanksgiving every year, but we always had lots of leftovers – my apple pie was more popular. I might just have to make it for myself anyway.
Emmett losing weight October 8, 2009, 9:13 am
My favorite is peanut butter pie!
Traci October 8, 2009, 9:39 am
Pie! Yummm. Handsdown favorite is absoltely custard. So good.
Meg @ Be Fit Be Full October 8, 2009, 9:45 am
Warm apple pie with vanilla ice cream. At least two scoops! Mmmmm…
Tina October 8, 2009, 10:50 am
Haha I love that you had pumpkin pie as a snack! Good idea!! My favorite pie is this chocolate pecan one that my sister made last Thanksgiving. Sooo good!
Tammy October 8, 2009, 1:39 pm
I think my favorite pie is strawberry rhubarb…my grandma used to make a killer strawberry rhubarb pie with berrie and rhubarb from her garden and it was the perfect combo of sweet and tangy flavors. Second, would be just about any kind of chocolate pie or peach pie…homemade crust, of course!
Angie (Losing It and Loving It) October 8, 2009, 1:41 pm
Oh boy favorite kind of pie is a toss up between peanut butter pie and pecan pie. Haven’t had either in such a long time because I know how bad they are for me and I can’t control myself around them LOL
Amanda @ Cakes and Ale October 8, 2009, 1:46 pm
I really love key lime too. However, chocolate cream pie (flaky crust, chocolate filling and meringue topping) is up there too!
Nicole (dishin') October 8, 2009, 2:07 pm
Apple or Boston Cream Pie!!
dorothy October 8, 2009, 7:24 pm
