2012 ipie-lution!

Did you overindulge during the holidays? The resolution to give up sweets doesn't last long for most people so how about resolve to eat smaller sweets? Like, maybe, an ipie!

Now that's a resolution that is easy to keep. And it might help that part of the proceeds each year from ipie sales are donated to the Alzheimer's Association.

While winter time means fewer fruits to choose from for pie baking -- having beautiful pears available this time of year makes it a bit easier to wait for the bounty of summer.

Just ripened Bartlett pears drizzled with a bit of local orange blossom honey topped by a flaky honey brushed crust. No wonder the pear honey ipie quickly became my best selling ipie at the Palo Alto Farmers' Market!

Hosting a party, meeting or other special event? Even though the market is now closed until May, you can still get your ipies! In addition to the pear honey, I also have classic apple ipie available as well as pinwheel cookies.

Local ipie fans can order their ipies by sending me an email me to discuss while fans out of the area can order via paypal. All ordering information is to the right.

And don't forget, eat more pie!
