Last Sunday for my dad's birthday brunch I decided to bake my first pie. I am known for making scrumptious cookies, though making a pie is quite a different venture. The most difficult part of making a pie, as I discovered first hand, is the crust. I chose to try a millet and mushroom pie, and though it looked a bit sloppy and was difficult to serve, it tasted delicious!
Not only was it delicious, but it was nutritious! That is the beauty of home cooking and baking. It takes time and effort, but you can use organic ingredients and make modifications if you so desire. I used a recipe from Jae Steele's cookbook, "Get it Ripe", which contains many unique and fun recipes that usually get my lips smacking in delight!
When I bring over my creations to a family gathering, I am usually asked about them because my food often looks a bit different, as I do not use eggs, meat, dairy or wheat flours, and often incorporate grains and lentils. Having said that, I always get praise for the taste! I think it really comes down to using the purest ingredients (organic), putting love into whatever you are making, and having fun in the process. :0)
