The last time I was in Detroit, I went to a new bakery called Sister Pie. I fell in love with the place immediately. Unfortunately, I arrived minutes before the shop was closing and had a very limited selection of pie slices to choose from. One of them was a salted maple pie. I couldn’t…

Chocolate Chess Pie
I was in a pie baking mood, but I wasn’t in a go to the store to buy the ingredients mood. I was lucky enough to have the ingredients to make a chocolate chess pie which is something I’ve never made before. I’m also still trying to understand what a chess pie is. The pie…
