Celebrating Pi(e) Day
There’s a delicious holiday right around the corner and you may not have even heard of it. March 14 (or 3/14) marks Pi Day—a special celebration for math lovers and dessert aficionados. Pi, 3.14, is the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter. But let’s be honest, it’s just a great excuse to indulge in everyone’s favourite round treat: pie. Join us in celebrating pi(e) day on March 14!
Pi Day is more than just a fun play on words—it’s a celebration of circles and whether it’s sweet or savory, pie is a widely loved food choice that’s been eaten around the world for centuries. In fact, there’s even references to pie in Shakespeare!
We’re not sure there’s any wrong choices when it comes to pie, but there are some pretty popular picks and pairings, including:
Classic Apple
The epitome of tradition, complete with flaky crust and sweet cinnamon. Enjoy it warmed or leftover from the fridge.
Pecan
An indulgent choice that’s rich and nutty. Try it with ice cream or drizzle of caramel for an extra sweet treat.
Lemon Meringue
A bright and citrusy dessert with light and fluffy meringue—delicious. Try it with a glass of rosé for an adult twist.
Chicken Pot Pie
Don’t forget about savoury options like a classic chicken pot pie, the ultimate comfort food on a cool day.
Want to celebrate the day by doing more than just eating pie? Gather your friends and family and host a bake off or splurge on store bought options and vote on your favourites. Or grab a new pie plate and get crafting to create serving ware to mark the occasion. Feeling really hungry (and ambitious)? Have an old-fashioned pie eating contest! Just remember to keep your cleaning supplies close by for afterwards.
However you decide to celebrate, grab a fork, dig in, and enjoy a full circle moment with a full circle dessert.
