National Pie Day

According to what I read in the newspaper, today is national pie day!
Here are photos of some of the pies I've made during the past month.




This one is a lemon chess pie.




And this one is a coconut cream pie. I used the recipe for the chocolate pie that I love. Just substituted coconut in place of cocoa.




This is the chocolate pie. I changed the recipe a bit by adding some espresso (powdered) and vanilla extract.




This is a Shaker lemon pie. The recipe is from a cookbook we saw at the Shaker Village at Pleasant Hill, KY some years ago. It has thinly sliced lemons (including the peels).




This is a quiche with spinach and bacon. We probably think sweet when the word pie is mentioned, but there are many savory pies.
