Oh Crap. What Pie am I Baking Tonight? BTW...Pie is IN!

Alrighty...I didn't post my blog to FB and I have no input from peeps, so I'm going to make another call for suggestions. Greg...this is your chance to pony up a pie idea! ;)

Also, I just wanted to reiterate the fact that I (and a lot of other foodie folks) think cupcakes need to step off. Takey a lookey:

• Food Network’s Kitchens: "We are looking forward to innovation around that all-American icon: pie. We anticipate pie shops, pie trucks, pie books, pie blogs, festivals of pie. Hopefully everyone gets a piece of the pie in 2011. And that to us is a pretty comforting thought." 
• NPR: Cupcakes are Dead. Long Live the Pie!
• The Feast: The Year's Top 10 Trends From Pizzaiolo to Pie 
• Eater: "Talia Baiocchi, wine writer: Pie Defeats Cupcake in Epic Baked Goods Battle"  
• Allrecipe.com 2011 Food Trend Survey: "Pies of all types - hot and cold, sweet and savory - are increasingly popular. In 2010, savory pie was often served as part of dinner, and a sweet pie as dessert. Page views for AllRecipe's pie recipes were up more than 20 percent from 2009" 
• Nation's Restaurant News: Pies top 2011 restaurant trend list
• NY Daily News: "If there is one thing that [Liz] Vaccariello, [Every Day with Rachel Ray editor-in-chief] insists, it's that 2011 will be the year of the pie."

Need I say more? Nope. Comfort is back, my friends.
