Watch the video below for step-by-step instructions on how to make this recipe!


This recipe is a little involved and takes a nice chunk of time to complete, which is great when you need something to take your mind off of everything that is going on in our world right now. To me, life is feeling a little chaotic and I don't like the uncertainty that comes with not knowing when the quarantine bans will be lifted. I am craving the ability to visit my loved ones, to go out and see a new movie with my girlfriends, to get dressed up for date night with my husband at our favorite sushi spot, to browse around TJ-Maxx with my mom and sister, or to visit my best friend and meet her amazing little daughter who was just born a few days ago. That being said, I was able to have some fun making this super yummy pie and sharing it with my family that I am sheltering-in-place with. It was also fun to put on a cute little dress and some makeup in order to film the video, it made me feel a little more put-together and a little less stressed!
