I had to show off my husband’s amazing cherry pies he made for a holiday get together we had with family last weekend. Yumo!

He usually makes two of these every year, and every year, we have a hard time figuring out how to transport them without messing them up. Finally, I had an idea of purchased two pie carriers from Bed, Bath, & Beyond as early Christmas presents for him. In the past, he would “poo-poo” this suggestion, but I knew once he saw them in action that he would think differently, and he did!

After he made the pies, I pleaded wit him not to throw out the leftover pie dough. He hates pie crust, but to me that’s the best part of the pie. My grandmother used to make amazing pies when we would visit her during the summer in Colorado, and she always rolled out the leftover dough, sprinkled it with cinnamon and sugar, and baked it. Then she would cut it up, and we would munch on it as we waited for the pies to finish baking. He humored me. Yup, he’s a keeper!
