Regardless of how time-consuming or scary it sounds, I encourage you to try making your own crust. You see this pale, sad excuse of a store-bought crust I used instead? I’d like to think that Queen Gaines would understand that I’m not at “homemade pie crust” level yet. As a poor college kid that has a Netflix account with several hours of unwatched Hawai’i Five-0 episodes on it, I decided that I had not the time nor money to make my own crust from scratch. If I could nail this pie, I could move on to bigger and better things in her recipe repertoire. I’ve been a fan of Chip and Joanna Gaines for a long time, and I was so excited to learn that they were coming out with a magazine! I picked up my copy of Magnolia Journal at my local Lucky’s Market and read the whole thing on the car ride to Nashville to see Adele (10/10 would recommend by the way).Īs soon as I saw her recipe for apple pie, I knew it would be the perfect thing to start my journey to actually becoming Joanna. So few people cook because they think it’s hard or expensive, but it’s really not that scary! So in the spirit of making things easy, I tried to emulate the legendary Joanna Gaines by making her apple pie as my very first blog recipe. With this blog, I hope to provide easy recipes that are sometimes healthy (but oftentimes not) that anyone can make. For now, probably two people will read this post, and they may or may not be my mom and fiancé. Now that I’m a senior in school with literally no responsibilities beyond work and finding a big boy job (seriously, I’m taking yoga and Zumba for credit this semester I’ve got nothing but free time), I figured it would be a great time to make my dream come true of starting a blog that will help me pay for brand-name ingredients and maybe my shopping and Indian food habits. I’ve loved baking, cooking, and entertaining ever since I ditched the dorms in college for an apartment with a real kitchen, and since then I’ve thought about how cool it would be to write some of my favorite recipes down to share with others. After literally a year of thinking about it, writing about it, telling my fiancé about it, and avoiding it, I’ve finally started my very own food blog.
