April's Winner and A New Theme For May!

First of all, a big, fat THANK YOU to everyone who helped us make our first month back SO successful! We were thrilled with the Round-Up and the pies...? Oh, heavens! The pies ALL looked amazing! So thank you, to everyone who participated and helped make April one fantastic month of pie-making!

And now, on to the winner of our "Spring" theme:

Congratulations to Erin of Milk & Honey! Her fresh, beautiful Pineapple-Strawberry Pie had us all drooling! So now, Erin has the honor of choosing our theme for May! Go Erin, go!

Ready??? The theme for May is....[drum roll]...PIZZA PIES!!

How cool is this? Want to make a deep dish Chicago-style pizza? Go for it! Fruit pizza? Chocolate pizza? Go for it! Feel free to get as creative as you want, just remember..."pizza PIE" is the theme- no pizza bites, pizza rolls or things of that nature. It's gotta be round, and it's gotta be a "pie". We are a pie making group after all. ;-)

Ok, pie-lovers, you know what to do! After you've created and blogged your pie, email us the link to your post, the title of your pie, your blog name and a 300pix picture of your pie. You have until May 13th. Now get in those kitchens and start baking up those Pizza Pies!

We're back with April's Theme!!

Are you ready?? This month's theme is "Spring", chosen by Amy of Sing For Your Supper and Jessica of My Baking Heart.

It's that time of year when the flowers and trees are blooming, everywhere you turn people are outside playing frisbee, Easter candy is everywhere, and the best thing of all - you can dust off those flip flops! Get those toes pedicured because it's SPRING! This time of year, it seems like everyone can't wait to start cooking and baking with light, bright flavors like lemon and fresh herbs. That's why we chose a "Spring" theme for this month. Get in the kitchen and come up with the freshest, brightest Spring-inspired pie you can think of - whether it's inspired by your childhood Easter basket, or something with lots of fresh, fragrant herbs. You'll have a lot of wiggle room for this one (sweet OR savory!); just make sure the pie is fun and "Springy"! Go get 'em! Happy Spring, everyone!

p.s. We have a new 'How It Works' page! Check it out for details on how to submit your pies!!

Please bear with us!!

Things began to fall by the wayside and our authors became very busy with family, personal blogs and life in general. So, to help with the workload, two new hostesses were brought on... Jessica of My Baking Heart and Amy of Sing For Your Supper!!

We apologize for the lack of communication, but we're working hard on cleaning things up... designing new logos, reformatting the rules and planning fun things. Please don't give up on us - remember to check back often 'cause we'll be back very soon!! Until then, check out our Facebook Page, become a fan and tell your friends!! :)

Playing Catchup!! October's Winner, November's Roundup and December's Theme

Hi all! This holiday season seems to be shaping up to be a crazy busy one! I hope everyone is doing well and enjoying a season of joy and happiness.

My apologies again for not posting the theme and roundup sooner, but other than life just being busy I don't have a lot of explanation for it. So, without further ado here are a few items to take care of.

MASQUERADE PIE WINNER: Congratulations to Catalina at Having Fun in the Kitchen! You will be the hostess for January's theme. Please email your theme choice and description to us before the end of December. Sorry for the delay in the official announcement!

HOLIDAY SPIRIT PIE
I'm betting that December is a hectic month in many of YWPWT kitchens,
so I've tried to offer lots of freedom with this one.

The challenge: Create a pie with true holiday spirit - literally.
Whether it be mulled wine, eggnog, bucks fizz or advocaat snowballs...
even office party punch will do! Whatever your country or creed,
whatever your celebrated customs might be, pick a 'poison' for your
pie that brings the holiday season to life for you.

And for any virtuous teetotallers out there (you have my admiration),
feel free to reinterpret this one as you like using any ingredients,
flavours or decorations that bring the holiday spirit out in you. For
example, you might deck your pie with boughs of holly, spice it up
with a gingerbread crust, or whip up a creamy vigin eggnog tart.

Have fun and remember - drink/bake responsibly.
Happy Holidays!

June

NOVEMBER'S THEME - Pumpkin Pie with a Twist from Judy at Judy's Gross Eats:

I decided on pumpkin pie because of November and Thanksgiving and all.

But not just the usual pumpkin pie. Not the one on the Libbey's can or Grandma's or your traditional pie. I'm looking for pumpkin pie with a twist, something creative and different that would become your new tradition.
