This pie is bursting with sunshine flavor sweet strawberries and zesty lemon. It's like a lemonade stand with strawberries in a pie. Since, I started to make pies for Bronc Day I joined Family, Career, Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) at my school, when I took Family and Consumer Sciences. I am grateful for my mother pushing me to make a pie the 1st time for Bronc Day and I have enjoyed it ever since. Very glad to help out the community.

Like a warm summer sunset, this pie glows with roasted butternut squash with a autumn hint. Still honoring Mrs. Kremenak who gave me her pie pans, Pat and Dick Lackmond and Stevie Woods who lived large and will be greatly missed after all these years.

Growing up in The Bronx,NY we couldn't wait until Sunday dinner when my aunt and uncle would bring pastries from the Italian bakery. Cannolis were one of our favorites. Crunchy crust filled with sweet cheese and chocolate chips. So simple but so delicious. This is my version but as a pie. Perfect for a warm summer evening.

This isn't your grandma's sweet potato pie - unless she moonlights as a flavor alchemist.

During High School all our friends would get together to bake a pie from scratch together! Pie nights was where my wife and I met.
