Sweet Potato Pie

Sweet potato pie vs pumpkin pie — it’s an age-old debate hashed out around many a Thanksgiving table. Some of the preferences seem to be regional, as those who grew up in the American South can hardly fathom a Thanksgiving feast without a sweet potato pie, while those raised in New England tend to opt for the pumpkin. Lines are drawn around flavors and textures, as well, with many professing that the sweet potato version is naturally sweeter and texturally more custard-like than its pumpkin-filled cousin, which boasts a nuttier flavor and a fluffier texture. No matter where you swing on this pie pendulum, we encourage you to do a bit of taste-testing with this super simple sweet potato pie recipe. You’ll find organic canned sweet potato and local Mirabelle’s frozen pie dough featured in our Weekly Sale from November 11th – 17th, giving you plenty of time to assess this pie’s worthiness of a place in your holiday spread!

Coconut Cream Pie

Even if you’re not an avid mathematician, it’s perfectly acceptable to celebrate Pi Day (March 14th) by baking up a delicious pie! This one is bursting with coconut flavor and just the right amount of subtle sweetness. According to the recipe’s author, “it’s ethereally light and a full-on tribute to the delicate, unique flavor that is coconut.” We also think you’ll agree that it’s totally worth it to make your own sweetened coconut for the topping, rather than relying on the commercially processed sweetened coconut.
