And I'd also like to take this opportunity to wish a very Happy 92nd Birthday to my grandmother and namesake, Nancy Frechette! She has made more pies than any individual I know (she used to make over 20 for Thanksgiving alone - every Thanksgiving!) It's very fitting therefore that we celebrate a love of pies on her birthday!

Find 14 recipes to try below, all kinds of pies with fruit, sweet stuff, veggies, even a chicken pot pie - plus a tutorial on making a Perfect All-Butter Pie Crust. Recipes links are below!
