Today, March 14th is National Pi Day

No I didn’t misspell that.  I really am talking about Pi.  If you’re like me, you may have been too far removed from school to even remember what pi is.  Yes, I homeschool, and yes, my son has been exposed to pi…but for now I haven’t had to do much with explaining pi to him yet.  The math program he uses is all on CD and I haven’t had to step in much, unless he just can’t figure it out.  Anyway, I said all of that to say this.  In case you still can’t remember what Pi is, the definition is this:

It is the ratio of a circle’s circumference divided by its diameter.  It alway equals a number that goes on and on, but can be rounded up to 3.14. 

And do you have any idea why March 14th was chosen as National Pi Day?  3.14   Get it?  As in the numbers in the number Pi.  Brilliant, huh?

Marie Callender's Dutch Apple Pie

So how does one celebrate National Pi Day?

 

 

By eating Pie of course!

 

 

Yesterday, I went to the store to pick out our family’s special Marie Callender’s pie.  It was a hard decision.  I started by looking at the calories, as I recently started a new diet.  There was Banana Cream, Dutch Apple, Coconut Cream, Lemon Meringue and so on.  I then decided that the Dutch Apple Pie looked so good that I couldn’t pass it up!  I knew my kids and husband would be thrilled with my choice and I also knew that I could still eat a small slice as long as I saved enough calories in my day.  I’m sure that my family would be glad to eat any that was left over as they never have a problem consuming anything sugary sweet.

Would you believe that I have never bought a Marie Callender’s pie before yesterday?  I tend to be the one who goes for the cheap, no name box, no matter how good it is.  Let me tell you, in this particular case, it is worth paying a little more!  It was absolutely delicious!  Baked to perfection.  I usually don’t care too much for the crust when it comes to pie, but in the Marie Callender’s Dutch Apple Pie, it is to die for!  I would eat it just for the crust.  It was that good!  My husband came in to tell me that Marie Callender’s was the best frozen apple pie he has ever eaten.  Hands down.  Now that is saying something!  He doesn’t hand out those complements to just anyone.

  • Amorette DavisUser of the Free Freezer to Slow Cooker One Week Menu

    Thank you so much! As a special needs mommy these recipes have helped us so much.   I often am very busy with being a nurse for our child that I don't have time for making sure we get meals.  This allows me to do all my prep on the weekends, while my husband is home to help, and to cook during the week.  So grateful!

  • Linda SearsOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Menus

    Sarah’s Freezer to Slow Cooker ebooks have been a fantastic addition to my meal plans.  They make meal planning easy and my family happy. I love the way each recipe is laid out, with a shopping list and ingredient prep list, along with cooking instructions. Sarah’s done all the hard work for me!  The recipes have used have all been delicious and easily adaptable to my family’s taste and the number of people I’m serving.

  • FranOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebooks
     I purchased all of your freezer to slow cooker ebooks a month or so ago and I'm in love with this way of cooking.  I now have taken all 10 weeks of recipes and written them of my menu planner and then I repeated the 10 weeks and will continue to do so throughout the year.  My family of 5 adults and 1 child enjoy the meals that you have planned and I have cooked and I'm excited that the next time when that meal comes due up in the rotation I won't have to purchase anything but just pull it from the freezer.  Thank you so much

    This makes my life so much easier. I'm a busy work at home/stay at home mom, wife, business woman and I feel like dinner is always the thing I just never get time to do. We have done like 15 of the crockpot recipes from Sarah and they are all very yummy. They get a thumbs up from my husband and kids every time. And there is always enough for my husband to take the left overs at least 2x per recipe. I have a family of 5, 2 adults, 21, 13, 16. So it makes plenty. Thank you Sarah.

  • Dawn S.Buyer of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebook Series
    I am a 59-year-old wife and mother of two grown children.  I love your idea of fixing a lot of meals ahead of time and then pulling one out, put it in the crockpot, and you have dinner when you get home.  I hate feeling rushed when I cook so Monday - Friday I use those crockpot meals and make enough that we have lunch the next day.  I take Sunday afternoon, fix up what I need for the week (I don't have a lot of freezer space so I do a week's worth at a time) and I'm done with it!  Saturdays I like to try new recipes from some of my cookbooks which I am finding I can freeze as well!  So you have shown me a whole new way to organize my time and still put a healthy meal on the table.  Thanks so much and I look forward to future blogs.
