It’s Pi Day… so naturally we’re baking PIE. 🥧 Today’s recipe: Old Fashioned Tart Cherry Pie with a buttery crumb topping. ✨ Bright, tangy Montmorency tart cherries ✨ A sweet, golden crumb topping instead of a top crust ✨ Classic flavor that tastes like it came straight from grandma’s kitchen (or Mama Maria's) And yes… the filling slices beautifully (no runny pie here) as long as you can be patient and let it cool before digging in. In the blog post I’m also sharing: • The difference between tart cherries vs sweet cherries • Cornstarch vs tapioca for the perfect pie filling • Tips for getting a perfect cherry pie texture every time If you love classic fruit pies, this one is a must-bake. 👉 Visit the blog to get the full recipe https://mostlybakes.com/old-fashioned-tart-cherry-pie-with-crumb-topping/ And tell me in the comments… Are you celebrating Pi Day with pie today? #PiDay #PieDay #CherryPie #MontmorencyCherries #BakingFromScratch

If you're in an appetizer rut like I was, this recipe for Easy Coconut Curry Tofu 2 Ways is a quick and delicious way to change up your appetizer routine. Extra firm tofu is cubed, fried in peanut oil until crispy. At this stage, you can season with salt, pepper, or any other seasoning that you like, but to make these crispy tofu bites into a fun and delicious appetizer, simply toss them in a simple sauce made from light coconut milk and yellow curry paste, skewer them, and watch them disappear. Even the carnivores in your family will be gobbling up these tasty cubes of goodness!

Happy first Monday of the New Year! I thought I'd go all in this week and share two interwoven recipes back-to-back. Every year, I make our family’s recipe for both cannoli shells and the custard that fills them for the holidays – family events, office parties, and gatherings with friends – and every year I have someone ask me for the recipe or say that they searched for it on the blog, but couldn’t find it. Typically, the recipes you find here on the MOstly Bakes blog are my own original recipes, with the exception of a few from either side of the family that have been re-engineered for today’s home cooks. Like those recipes, this one is not mine from a purely creative perspective. I didn’t develop it, but it is definitely a part of me, my holiday baking traditions, and my identity as a home cook. This past Christmas, once more I had someone ask for the recipe, and again I explained that it couldn’t be found on the blog because it hadn’t been shared in that space. It was then that I realized that regardless of their origin story, all good recipes are meant to be shared. Giving credit where credit is due, I’m grateful to the women on my mother’s side of the family who developed this recipe and passed it down through generations. I wish I could have been a quiet observer in their kitchens. I can’t tell their story because I wasn’t there to bear witness, but I can share with you my family’s recipes for custard filling and cannoli shells as they were shared with me.

If you know anything about my holiday cookie baking history, every year I proclaim that I’m going to “pare back” on my baking, and every year I still end up making between 10 – 12 or more types of cookies over a marathon session of weekend baking. This recipe for Simple and Delicious Cranberry Apricot Biscotti is one of my daughter’s favorite holiday treats, and although I keep trying to scale down the cookie list, this is one that always makes the final cut.
