Great American Pie Month

by Darla Youngblood

I thought I would find a fun holiday for everybody! Because who doesn’t love a pie!
When I was growing up my Mom made lots of pies! Some of my favorite ones were lemon meringue pie, chocolate meringue pie, pumpkin pie and pecan pie! They were delicious!
During the Great Depression people had limited food so the creation of make do pies was started . They were called this because they made pies from the ingredients they had. One of those pies is the buttermilk pie which is so delicious! It has a lot of sugar in it and since I’m diabetic I had to stop buying it. I rarely eat sweets because of being diabetic.
But if you are not diabetic then practice making your own pies and I’m sure they will be delicious!
