Sunday dinner I usually try to do something awesome! And today I made a roast and potatoes and indeed it was awesome, and SUPER easy! What would I do without my Crock Pot?! I’ll tell you I’d cook a little less 
Anyway carrots, potatoes, celery and onion chopped in large pieces in bottom of croc pot place roast on top, cover with powdered onion soup mix add 2 cups of water cook on high for 4-5 hours or low 6-7 hours. It was lovely. As we were finishing up J said “know what would be awesome to end with?…Cherry Pie” I will never turn down cherry pie! However I didn’t have enough filling to throw a quick pie together so rather than break the Sabbath and go buy one I got creative.
A few months ago I bought this silicone tart pan at Tuesday Morning; mostly because it was $4 but also because I wanted to try and make tarts. I put it away and never got around to them until today! I had some frozen pre made pie crust (a true staple I know) and one can of pie filling. So I cut out circles of the pie crust to line the tart cups and filled with pie filling baked at 375 for 20-25 minutes. But I still had a second pie crust and it had thawed so I couldn’t let it go to waste, so I proceeded to make mini pies.
I only had filling enough for 3 more little treats and I didn’t get a perfect seal around the edges; but nonetheless I am proud of these cute little pies! And yes I WILL be making them again in the future! Preferably when we have some friends over or something it’s a lot of temptation to have mini pies lying around because they’re so small. It’s like pie vitamins, don’t wanna stop eating them! Maybe I’ll throw a baby shower for one of my many pregnant friends and make little pies, I bet I could make them even minier!
Don’t you wish you came over for dinner tonight!
but as Pies go, that’s pretty small!
In other news around our house Maia has a new game she likes to play. Well it’s not new per say but she plays in a new way; Hide and Seek. She now likes to put a blanket over her head and wait until you ‘can’t see her’ then she will peek out and giggle. It’s darling. Tonight we were playing this game:
