someone put bourbon in the pie

each year, me and a few special people head to Chicago to go to the Renegade Craft Fair. our time there is the welcoming of fall we all crave.  needless to say, each year i become inspired by all of the inventive people in the world. this naturally results in me buying many thing i clearly need. this year i found something that inspired more than a crafty outlook for fall, it inspired the baker i know i secretly am. Chicago's very own slice of brilliance, PIEBOX.

i mean how was a girl supposed to resist the wonderful image a piebox brings to the world!? and because i bought a box for it, and i hate to do things half heartedly, i made a pie. 

...and what does one do with a freshly baked pie and the most perfect home for it... take pictures you say? why of course! 

oh yes. the pie tasted delicious, thanks to this recipe from A Beautiful Mess Blog

Summer Food Obsessions

This summer I am looking forward to eating fresh blueberries from the farmers market,

getting eggs fresh from the farm, 

& scrumptious macaroons for garden parties with friends. 

One of my goals for the summer is to bake without using added, processed sugars.  I am looking for some healthy options for dessert like the unbelievably delicious frozen banana 'ice cream' recipe seen here

Have you heard of any delicious desserts?  I'd love to know what makes your sweet tooth craving disappear.
