6 Creative Pie Recipes to Recreate on National Pi Day
Although most of us dread the thought of math class, National Pi Day brings something very tasty to eat on March 14 as a solace to our dread. Pie for pi!
You'll probably see your favorite restaurants offering deals on pie, but you can also make your own at home. Below, discover six creative recipes you should try tomorrow.
Pocket Pizza Pies by Easy Gay Oven
Technically speaking, a pizza is a pie. We don't need any excuse to make one, but Pi Day is always a fun reason to. Rather than making your usual round pie, Easy Gay Oven transforms them into bite-sized delights. Inside each puff, you'll get a dollop of hearty tomato sauce, cheese and basil.
