Father's Day & Berry Pie

I'm sure many of you follow Emily from Cupcakes and Cashmere and saw this post about a delicious Triple Berry Pie. For Father's Day I thought it would be a nice gift to make for my Daddy, so I took on this one. I've actually never made a pie before, and this one was surprisingly easy to start out with. Though, I have two things to confess: 1. I did cheat on the meal plan I'm on (but it was a special occasion) & 2. I bought the pie crust. Ooops.



I also got to spend some time with my Dad at an Equestrian Center that helps teach kids with special needs how to ride. We ended up just being there for a raffle drawing, but maybe I'll get to go back again and help out another day. I don't think there are any fathers who read my blog, but if there's one out there I hope you had a Happy Father's Day! p.s. The pie was a success!





How crazy is that rooster? Let me know how you spent your Father's Day!

    That pie looks yummy! I'm glad you had a lovely day :) I'm living in London away from my parents because I'm at university and I had to work yesterday but I called my dad on my break which was nice and I sent him a card in the post :)

    Congratulations on mastering the pie making. I want to try to make my first pie as well so maybe this one is a good place to start. Hanging out with horses is not a bad way to spend the day either =)

    Berry pie is favorite and yours looks delicious cheating or not! Also, those ponies (I think they're ponies) are the cutest.

      Haha thanks! They are full size horses, but their legs do look a little short in the picture!
