Tasty Pies to Try

I love pie. There's something so homey and happy about homemade pie and I always lobby to contribute pies for Thanksgiving potluck. However, pie is awesome all year round and tomorrow (January 23) is National Pie Day. I don't need a holiday to eat pie, but hey, I'll take the inspiration! Here’s a roundup of tasty pies to try, tomorrow or any day! Click through the links below for full recipes, additional images, and further culinary inspiration from these amazing pie-loving bloggers!

Laurel recently introduced me to brownie pie (a true stroke of baking brilliance) and this brownie pie recipe looks similar in composition.

Got lactose issues? Not a problem with this chocolate tofu pie. I tried this at a friend’s house and was surprised by how good it was...I was a little skeptical at first, despite being pro tofu!
