Pie ala Saskatoon

After a super successful Saturday morning picking berries with the family, we returned home with more than anticipated.

What's a girl to do?  Make pie of course.  You can never have too much pie.

So with aprons on, we all set out to make homemade dough (a secret family recipe, which I will not be divulging) filling, and bake this beauty.

Oh what a Saturday.  Who knows what Sunday will bring?

In the meantime, Saturday will bring delicious pie.  That's what every Saturday should bring.

 Love,
