It's High Time for Pie Time!

I promised a giveaway, and a giveaway we shall have! Last October I entered a pie baking contest at my church and I won! I actually won both first and third place with the two pies I brought: Pumpkin Apple and Lemon Pecan. Both of the winning recipes came from a book I was reading at the time called American Pie, which I bought at a thrift last summer for 25¢. The book is all about the author's road trip across America in search of the perfect pie. It's a fun and entertaining read and includes a ton of great (prize-winning, apparently!) pie recipes as well. Unless it's contest time, I'm more of a cookie and cake girl myself, so I'd like to pass this on to someone else. I figure summer's a great time for pies, with all the beautiful fresh fruit and the outdoor gatherings and all.

So here's the giveaway: my copy of American Pie, a brand new Pampered Chef Slice n' Serve pie server, a cool vintage apron (to keep you clean when you bake your own prize-winning pie) and some other fun surprises to help you in your pie-making endeavors. If you want in on the action, just leave a comment on this post between now and 10 p.m. Sunday night. I'll put the names in the ol' Goblet of Fire and on Monday I'll draw the winner!
