Sweet And Savory Ways To Mark Pi Day |
Happy Pi Day!
It's the day we celebrate the monumental contribution to mathematics first conceived of by William Jones... and used to find a measurement with a circle. It's now become tradition to commemorate the moment with yummy dessert pies. And of course there's another great type of pie: pizza! For a roundup for places to get a great piece of pizza, check out Pi Day Pizza Pies.
For sweet treat pies, Tollgate Inn and Bakery in Sandy is the place to go. Their bakery specializes in all sorts of scratch made goodies, pies included. The Dutch Apple is awesome. For a more locally inspired flavor, check out the Mountain Berry.
As one would imagine, the Huckleberry Inn in Government Camp is known for making a delicious pie out of their namesake fruit. They also offer great cherry and apple pies as well, either by the slice or ala mode.
If you're looking for gluten free and/or vegan options, then head over to Kyra's Bakeshop in Lake Oswego. Her shop is a completely gluten-free facility. But instead of catering only to people with special dietary needs, her bakery is insanely popular with gluten-lovers as well - it's that delicious!
Fir Point Farms in Aurora is another spot known for their delicious sweet treats made fresh in their on-farm bakery each day. The pies are no exception, and they offer a great variety of them. Plus there are a ton of farm-fun activities for the kids, so they can work off the energy they'll get from their pie.
Our Table is a cooperative of farmers, producers, and customers working together to create thoughtful and delicious food for the local community. This includes incredible baked items (like pies) as well! And to celebrate Pi Day they're offering all slices of sweet and savory pies for just $3.14! And while you're there pick up some other items from their farm store.
Want to try and make your own pie to celebrate the day? Swing into Bob's Red Mill and pick up a gluten free pie crust mix that will take the guesswork out of gluten-free dessert! Follow the instructions on the back of the bag for a light and flaky crust no one will suspect is gluten free.
The desserts at Gramma's Corner Kitchen are one of a kind, custom, homemade creations that you do not want to miss out on! Call ahead to order the dessert of your choice for birthdays or special occasions. They feature chocolate peanut butter, coconut cream, lemon meringue, pecan, apple, and more!
