This Pi Day, celebrate with pie! Eat your way through all 3.14 sides of this mathematical holiday with these deliciously round eats.
It's almost here — the husband's favorite "holiday": Pi Day!
Pi Day is a mathematical celebration of all things round, a circular excuse to devour pizza, gobble down tarts, and most of all, eat pie!
If you're confused, here's the deal: The mathematical symbol 'Pi' stands for the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter, and it equals (approximately) 3.14.
Actually, the number's quite a bit longer than 3.14, but we'll forget that for now.
Math nerds everywhere, along with their math-indifferent but food-loving friends (like me!), use this fabulous formula to celebrate Pi with pie on the calendar's closest equivalent to 3.14-- March 14th!
(I guess I should also note that this is the American way of notating the date — but, wherever you live, you can't go wrong with a pie party!)
And then we come full circle.
Confused?
That's okay!
All you really need to know is that March 14th is a fantastic day to eat pie.
This Pi Day, celebrate with all things round-- and especially with PIE! Want inspiration?
Check out these circular eats!
Savory Pie for Pi Day
Want to try something savory and round?
Go for pizza pie, savory galettes, or even the very round quiche!
If you want something very impressive, try this spiral sweet potato tart from Bunsen Burner Bakery!
Then, check out my favorite round foods below.
Dessert Pies
This Pi Day, make sure to try out a sweet pie (or two!). Some of them feature an easy homemade graham cracker crust.
I also like to make galettes (they're round, and basically pie!), crostata, and tarts!
Try this Bakewell tart from Marsha's Baking Addiction and this fig + blood orange tart from Use Your Noodles.
Then, check out my favorite sweet pies listed below!
