Bluebonnets and Brownies

The other week, Jennie put out the request that we all make a peanut butter pie for the ones we love.

I was definitely inspired, only, the one I love is as anti-peanut butter as you can get without actually being allergic to peanuts.

I was pretty sure if I presented James with a peanut butter pie, he would have stuck his tongue out at me and turned his nose up.

But the sentiment Jennie passed on, I took to heart. James has been begging me for two years now to create a Steak & Guinness pie recipe for him. Something like he’d find at the finest (or dingiest – often the same thing) chippy in all of England.



So that week, while everyone else was making peanut butter pies, I set to work on a Steak & Guinness pie filling for my Brit.

I think Jennie’s reminder is a great one – if a loved one has asked a special request, don’t put it off. Life gets in the way all the time. Remember that the dishes and dusting can wait.

I cooked them up in our Breville personal pie maker – a recent purchase and obsession brought into our lives by the awesome Casey – but you can make a standard 8″ or 9″ pie too, and serve wedges instead of individual pies.

For those of you that do have a Breville Personal Pie Maker, there is enough filling here to make 8 pies.
