Well hey there February. You sure did sneak up on us. And I am not letting you (February) slip by without celebrating the fact that it’s National Pie Month! Wait, you didn’t know is national pie month?
I’m not sure many people did, and I’m not really sure where they come up with these holidays, but I’m okay with that. I’ll celebrate any month of food.
Anyway, today have a really fun round up of sweet and savory pies. Some good for you, gluten-free, Paleo, etc. and some are just plain sinful and delicious sounding.

And I couldn’t let you leave without sharing one of my favorite grain free “pie” recipes. It’s an older recipe that I am bringing back in my life. It’s not necessarily a pie, but if you put it in a pie dish and add a little bit of whipped cream and lemon curd on top, it totally works!
Ingredients:
- 5 tablespoon butter (use earth balance to make vegan)
- 1 tablespoon oil (coconut works best)
- 3 tablespoon honey
- 2 cups almond meal (use really fine meal or almond flour)
- ¼ cup garbanzo flour (or coconut flour)
- 1-2 teaspoon lemon extract
- Topping- Lemon zest or peel, cinnamon, and honey
- Optional – to make sweeter, add preferred sweetener (ex: 1-2 teaspoon stevia)
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 350 F degrees Fahrenheit. In a saucepan, melt your butter, honey, and oil over low heat. Then, pour it into a bowl with your flours/meal and the rest of your ingredients.
Mix everything together thoroughly. Batter will be thick. Then press into a 9 in pie pan. Prick with a fork or knife in order for it to cook more evenly throughout. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes. Since I use almond meal, it took closer to 20 minutes. Drizzle honey, lemon zest, and cinnamon on top. Let it cool completely before cutting, otherwise it might fall apart.

Cheers to the end of February and National pie month!

ps.
When is it’s national wine month? I should look into that
I love trying something new and after hard work and practise been.able to do it.
There is no comfort then that, and familiarity with the same thing…but when I try something new and soon accomplish it I feel so very proud,…
I love anything with lemon so I’ll take this “pie” even if it’s no longer pie month. April is National Grilled Cheese month…another good one. 🙂
I always say my husband like anything in a pie shell. This post is going to make him very happy!
Whoa this looks so yummy!
almost as good as your bagel, right? 😉
um… YUM! I THINK I have all the ingredients for it- although truth be told, I’ll probably omit the lemon…I LOVE shortbread!
cinnamon and vanilla work well too. BAKE IT UP! report back
Hold up. February was National Pie Month?!??! Why did no one tell me this! I could have been eating pie every day! 🙂
i thought of you and your apple pie!
Seriously that pie looks amazing! I’ve always been more of a pie person than a cake fan. And I LOVE shortbread! Yum!
i had a feeling you’d like it! shortbread is my weakness
I love lemon everything.
I really need you to come to SC and be my live in GF cook. Teach me your ways.
sounds amazing!
Girl… I’m drooling. Don’t tempt me to bring Baby D down for snuggles in exchange for pie!
Is there a national sushi month?
And, it totally is a pie. I mean, it’s in a pie dish! Looks great! I love lemon. Savouuuuury 🙂
Uh those Nuttzo pies look like the perfect long-run recovery food!! I need to buy the chocolate one ASAP… once I finish up my current jar, because I have like 14 containers of nut butter open.
use my code! get yourself some more nutty goodness. aka CRACK! haha
i can never keep up with this food holidays..
haha you and me both!
If we lived closer, I would seriously be over all the time to help taste…and of course roll balls…and of course drink wine…XOXO Darn it why aren’t we closer. HA!
Sounds really good!!
You’d like with coffee!
I found national wine month for you (and me!) – it’s September! 🙂 http://www.examiner.com/article/september-is-national-wine-month
i guess we should go to napa in september?? 😉
Oh my oh pie! I am more of a cookie and cake kind of gal, however shortbread pie?? Sounds like a perfect hybrid to me!
Totally! Shortbread cookie pie for the win!!
Hi. Feed Me.
When you find out when pie day is, please let me know. 🙂
pie day is supposedly january 23rd. Now I’m on the hunt for national wine month! ha
lol. I am crazy. I meant to say wine month, not pie day. I can’t think straight.
I seriously am starting to turn into the modify queen!!!!!!! AND I AM SO PROUD OF MYSELF. I am giving myself a pat on DA BACKKKK YO! LOL! I could use coconut flour and maybe some stevia sweetened “honey” – I’m going to search around for these ingredients because have I ever mentioned that……. EXPLORING GROCERY STORES is one of my favorite things. I put my Steve Irwin outfit on and go HUNTING!!
Me too!!! I love the grocery store! Yes to coconut flour and stevia! Or even sun warrior
Wow – chocolate banana cream pie with bacon? I might have to try it just to see how the bacon fits in!!
So many of those pies look good!!!
I know! Loving that bacon. Salty sweet goodness
Shortbread makes me think Christmas, which makes me wish it was December again… until I remember that’s basically the start of winter, and I don’t think I can handle any more snow. I can always handle a slice of pie, though 😀
Well I added lemon, Which is spring like, yes?
YUM!!! I could definitely get into this kind of pie… I love shortbread and I love how easy this recipe is! Maybe I should celebrate my birthday with pie this year… I think this will be on the menu this weekend!
You so should!!! Can I come?
I love lemon anything and this sounds soooo good! Thanks for the recipe.
So what did you think??
Mm mm this looks GOOD!
I love Pie!!! You’re so clever with your recipes!!
Well I think you’re rubbing off on me. ❤️❤️❤️
PIES!!!!!!! Oh my, I want it all! 🙂
Wow what a delicious and healthy pie! I need you to come and cook for me every single day! But seriously….how do you come up with these!? Looks delicious friend can’t wait to try it out!
I actually have all of the ingredients to make that! I wonder how the lemon stevia would work … OR what about orange. YUM. Wine month? How about every day for wine day 😉
I love pie. But more pies like this. I don’t want a traditional apple pie. Have you ever had Kentucky Derby Pie? It’s like pecan pie, but with chocolate chips and bourbon. 😉
P.S. Let’s make wine pie for National Wine Month!
send me a slice of that first one!
Okay! Bacon lover!!!!
I like your theory of “if it’s in a pie dish,” it’s a pie!
Haha good! What else can we make pie??
Oh my gosh my mouth is watering! This looks amazing! I have been craving lemon flavored desserts and this just fits the ticket! Thanks for the great recipe 🙂
Me too! It’s like spring season! Refreshing
Shortbread Pie…..sounds like heaven.
And I take any national food days or months – but hell yes, we need to figure out national (or better international) wine months!! Or at least day. WHat a great excuse to get a little tipsy 🙂
It’s kind of funny because there was a time when I wasn’t really a pie person. I would hardly ever eat it. Now; however, I love it! Simple pies like this shortbread are my favorite! Looks yummy!
I’m trying the Mini Nuttzo Pie first. Then, the lemon. My husband loves lemon desserts so he’ll be pleased 🙂
You foodies amaze me. This sounds absolutely amazing and I would have never thought of it on my own. 🙂
Haha thx Katie! I’ll always share
Yummmm that looks SO good, Lindsay!
cheers is right!
Mmm! My daughter has been asking every day to make pie… I’m not sure where she got it in her head, but we may have to experiment with one of these!
Oh Yum! 🙂 MmM… lemon reminds me of spring as I sit here and type It’s currently -13, I NEED spring! ha
LOL I also would like to know when national wine month is, we should probably plan on getting together then.
I agree!!! Let’s do ot
Shortbread pie!? Maaaan that sounds good! I love having apple crumble when I go home to England, but making it a shortbread topping would increase my enjoyment even more! Thanks for sharing your recipe! My mum LOVES lemon, I will have to make it for her!
I need to get my hands on some nuttzo! I am so jealous of all these recipes with it!
feel free to use my discount code! do you have that? You totally need Nuttzo!
The kiwi loves his shortbread too! It’s a Must
