Mini Blueberry Pies

This weekend I made mini blueberry pies for some friends that were visiting from out of town. The weather has been unseasonably warm on the east coast (60+ degrees in January?!) so it didn't even feel like too summery of a treat! And with frozen blueberries, you can't go wrong! 

They are simple to make, but a little time consuming (mostly because of the lattice tops.) Just make some pie crust, mold it into a buttered cupcake tray, mix up some berry filling (I used this recipe here,) cut out some dough strips for lattice (completely optional!) and bake! My oven tends to cook a little hotter and faster than most-- but I baked the pies for 5 minutes at 425 degrees and then lowered it to 350 for about 12-15 minutes. 

Eat 'em hot and add vanilla ice cream! Yum! 

A Home Inside A Home

Hi friends! How has your January been so far? Some great things are happening around here--my favorite being that new products are in development (eek!!!) I've also tried my hand (body?!) at yoga a few times-- so that has got to count towards some new year's resolution, right? 

My favorite home project of January was the "fancying up" of our window sill with a little terrarium! It really is a tiny little world within itself living in our home. Every time I look into it, there is something new happening-- it's quite encouraging!

Wishing you encouragement from unexpected places! xo 

Happy 2012
