zucchini pie

There’s really no better way to enjoy good food than to enjoy it with your family. But before I get into that, I feel a need to explain my long absence. A dentist decided that it was necessary to forcibly remove my wisdom teeth from my face. Since I was on pretty much a mashed potato and applesauce diet for a week or so, I got out of the habit of cooking. I got back into it on my recent trip to the beach (!!!) with my family. And that, my friends, is where our story begins.

With zucchini pie. Don’t squirm, it’s easy. I’m going to share with you my new favorite pie dough recipe, complete with link to anyone-can-do-it directions and step-by-step photos, provided by one of my favorite bloggers, Joy the Baker. However, if dumping flour and butter on your counter and attacking it with a rolling pin seems like more mess and stress (which I’ve dubbed Thing 1 and Thing 2, in my kitchen) than you’re up for, I’m confident this pie would still be delicious with store-bought pie dough, or whichever dough recipe is your go-to favorite.
