Coconut Macaroon Pie

We're pretty boring when it comes to pie.  Looking at my 12 posts on the subject, they are mostly variations of our favorites- apple, blueberry & chocolate.   For Pi{e} Day, I decided that I wanted to get out of the box a bit.    Still working my way through all my sticky notes making to-try recipes in Taste of Home's 100 Family Meals, and one of those recipes was Coconut Macaroon Pie.


Simple to make, starting with a store bought pie crust.   I am not a great crust maker, which is why I think my pie selection is so limited.    The only sub I made was vanilla for the almond extract, due to  allergies.

I have beautiful glass pie dishes which really allow you to see if your bottom crust is soggy or not.   The down side is that it does take the pie a bit longer to cook- I covered it with foil at the 35 minute mark because it was browning very quickly.   Mine took about 50 mins.


This is so good.   It tastes like the inside of a Mounds bar.  It would be great with a drizzle of dark chocolate.    It cuts beautifully with a serrated pie server.   This goes straight into the Family Favorites file, and maybe next time I'll even attempt a crust from scratch!

Thank you so much to The Redhead Baker for hosting, and be sure to check out all the other awesome pie recipes at the end of this post!

Copycat Dunkin Donuts Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites

I'm a huge fan of the Dunkin Donuts Power Breakfast sandwich, so when I started seeing ads for the new Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites I stopped in and gave them a try.  They were delicious, but of course, I knew I could make them at home. 

Stuffed Waffles

I wasn't sure I was going to blog these stuffed waffles since it was the first time I tried using the new iron but since I'd already taken the pics as I went I figured, why not? They aren't perfect but they are delicious!

Copycat Dunkin Donuts Bacon and Cheddar Omelet Bites

Since I already came up with a version of Dunkin Donuts new Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites for myself, I decided to make the other variety that they are offering, Bacon & Cheddar, for my husband.
