After my first batch of pies from the The Pie Hole I knew I would be tasting Jenell Parsons delicious treats very soon.  I was lucky enough to be contacted by Jenell to do some product shots of her awesome pies and was more than happy to seeing I get to eat the models!

First up is the traditional Lemon Meringue pie.  This traditional favorite is made with a brown sugar meringue and a Meyer lemon curd so it’s a bit sweeter, the meringue was light and fluffy and the lemon curd had a great consistency.

Next up is the Key Lime Pie.  The Pie Hole put a twist on this pie with the addition of tequila so it had a margarita feel to it.  Like the lemon meringue this was a great pie, the curd had a perfect balance of sweet and tart, the Key Lime is sweeter than a regular lime and a more suited to desserts.  Traditionally the pie is made with a graham cracker crust but Jenell uses a sugar cookie crust for this pie.

Now on to some savory pies.  Here is a twist on one of my favorite dishes, the Mac and Cheese Pie.  The mac and cheese was made with sharp cheddar and mozzarella then topped with Parmesan for a crispy crust, the sauce was beautifully creamy and the pasta was cooked al dente.  This was a first having mac and cheese in a pie and it won’t be the last-a Pie Hole must try pie.

Next up we have a couple of Hand Pies.  This is the Steak and Stout and when I had it the first time I fell in love and having it in this form was no different.  The steak was melt in your mouth tender and the pie had a great filling to pastry ratio.

Lastly this is a Spiced Chickpea hand pie.  With a lightly spiced vegetarian filling with sweet potato, green peas, chick peas and spinach.  Even though I’m a big meat-eater I do love great vegetarian items and this was no exception.  The spicing was a mild for the filling but still delicious-it had light tones of the flavors of Morocco .  Overall this hand pie filled me up and was the perfect lunch, I’d recommend it to carnivores and vegetarians alike.
