How Do You Build Your Shepherd's Pie?

Whether to use up leftovers or as a creation all on its own, shepherd's pie is an ultimate comfort food.

Since we accept all walks of pie life, we created a second part of the pie poll for National Pie Day. Take the poll! »...

We're curious: what's the most popular kind of pie? Of course, you can't really go wrong with pie, no matter the filling. It's pie! If happiness were a food, it would probably be pie. This way to the poll! » **Not to be confused with Pi Day, the celebration of the symbol denoting the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter (aka 3.14). Naturally it's celebrated on March 14th, usually with pie and math geekage. Yeah, it's confusing, but is having...

Chicken empanadas. [Photograph: Sarah @ Short Stop] Last week on the Weekend Cook and Tell challenge we asked all of you to forgo your ideas about pies being sweet and fruity confections.

Winter months proved to be the perfect time for all of you to test out your non dessert baking skills. Our responses were full of crusty and flaky goodness. Check them out, after the jump....

[Photograph: This Is Why You're Fat] Remember the Cherpumple? That pie-cake-splosion from Charles Phoenix we told you about? Here's a better view of the monster. The anatomy: Bottom: Pumpkin pie inside a spice cake Middle: Apple pie inside a yellow cake Top: Cherry pie inside a white cake, all surrounded by cream cheese frosting That's a whole lot of pie guts.
