At my job, I look at recipes all day, everyday. And some days, you just have to come home and make them! So when the physical copies of Southern Living’s new cookbook, The Southern Pie Book, arrived in the office, I invited a few friends over for what we called Pie Party 2013!

We made three pies: the Margarita Key Lime Pie, the Chocolate Fudge Pie and Mama’s Peach Cobbler. And trust me, we didn’t skimp on anything. When the recipe called for whipping cream, we used whipping cream, causing the pies to be oh-so-delicous! (Many happy dances occurred.)

Lucky for you, the book goes on sale this week!
