Boneless pork roast, covered in a spicy vegetable mixture, wrapped with a bacon weave, and cooked on my smoker. Sort of a mash-up of several recipes.

Got PI covered.

No Pi here ....just a bowl of cherries for pie........

Greek pizza pie on a past Pi day

Homemade Pies made from wild-picked blackberries and wineberries.

bob, those pies look delish!

susan, I make 100% whole wheat bread for myself and it never rises that high, even with yeast designed for whole grain bread. Wow!

Does "pizza pie" count? I've heard pizza called pies occasionally.

Jasdip did you make that? It looks amazing and so do Bob's pies. Like the initials....clever.

if it doesn't count jasdip, I too am in trouble.

Yes Ava. I've been making home-made pizzas in my cast iron skillet lately. They come out great!

Thanks Jasdip. Is the recipe posted somewhere? I want to give it a try.

Jasdip your 'pizza pie' with the olives on it has my 'amore':)!

Thanks goldblush!

Ava, I use the pizza dough recipe that came with my Cuisinart countertop oven. Even better than the pizza, is the fact that my 10" cast iron fits in the oven!

Here's the dough recipe. I made it the day before and kept it in the frig to save time.

Pizza Dough

2 1/4 tsp yeast (or 1 packet)

1 1/2 tsp sugar

1 cup warm water

3 cups flour

1 1/2 tsp kosher salt

1 tbsp olive oil

In a liquid measuring cup dissolve the yeast and sugar in warm water. Let stand until foamy, 5 minutes. (I make the dough by hand, but the instructions are for a food processor).

Insert the dough or metal chopping blade into the bowl of a food processor. Add the flour, salt and olive oil. Pulse a few times to combine. With the motor running, pour the liquid mixture through the feed tube as fast as the flour absorbs it. Process until the dough cleans the sides of the work bowl and forms a ball. Continue to process for 30 seconds to knead the dough. Dough may be slightly sticky.

Lightly coat a bowl with olive oil, add the dough, turn to coat and cover with plastic wrap. let rise for about 1 hour, the dough should double.

Place on a lightly floured surface and gently fold over to punch down. Form into 2 crusts.

I have used that same basic recipe for many years. There are a few variations if you enjoy experimenting.

Rather than using sugar, use honey.

You can substitute half of the regular flour with whole wheat flour. You might need to add a bit more water, but it will turn out OK.

Yes, you can get two servings of pizza dough this way. One for today and the other can be frozen without loss of texture. Just thaw on the counter or possibly overnight in the fridge and use when you want it.

Thanks, the pies were delicious. I caught the wild bushes of both blackberries and wineberries on our property at just the right time. Occasionally you'd pick an overripe one and it would squish as you picked it, leaving bright red juice running down your hand and arm. However wild blackberries also have substantial sharp thorns, so some of the red "juice" running down my arm was blood from the thorns.

Gosh, I was going to post hours ago and then found out I had a meeting to go to which I had completely forgotten about. But glad to be back now. Amazing contributions today from everybody.

Nicole, I had forgotten about the pecan bars. I'm going to have to dig that one out again. Mine is an old picture of an apple pie I made. They are my specialty but I really want to try to make a banana cream pie just because I like them. Bob, you really put yourself on the line for those pies!! I bet they were fantastic. You can't beat fresh berries!!

I can't remember the last time I had a chocolate cream pie...maybe I should make them for easter...
