The best dessert money can Pie!

January 22, 2019 by Karen Liester 1 Comment

National Pie Day

In honor of National Pie Day (January 23rd) I’ve com-pie-led all the best places to get a slice of the action in Southeast Idaho!

(Plus…I may have gotten a little preoccu-pie-d with the puns!)

You’ve never seen somebody crying and eating pie at the same time…that’s all I’m saying!  I know people all have their opinions on what the best dessert is, and believe me, the #struggleisreal! Alas, I find myself in the category of people that LOVE PIE!  My husband, however, is not the biggest fan. He won’t turn down a chocolate chip oatmeal cookie, and absolutely loves most cupcakes and gourmet cheesecakes, but he’s not one to reach for a slice of pie.  Not me.  In fact, it is probably in my top 3 for favorite desserts ever!  Especially fruit pie (what beats a peach pie in the summer?)!  However, and here is where I go off the beaten path, please hold the ice cream.  There…I said it. I don’t love ice cream.  I’ll gladly swap for a softball-sized scoop of homemade whipped cream though! (I can feel the haters hating…but I feel liberated just for speaking my truth!)

So, whether you love your pie with or without ice cream, here is a list of the best places to get your pie on in Southeast Idaho!

  1. La Vanilla Bean  |  489 Park Ave
  2. Carstens’ Bakery  |  243 Cliff Street
  3. City Bagels + Bakery  |  369 Shoup Ave
  4. Perkins Restauraunt + Bakery  |  2000 Channing Way
  5. Rusty Lantern Diner  |  1330 W. Broadway
  6. Shari’s Cafe + Pies  |  1330 W. Broadway
  7. Black Bear Diner  |  1610 E. 17th Street
  8. Smitty’s Pancake + Steak House  |  645 W. Broadway Street
  9. Frontier’s Pie  |  460 w 4th S (Rexburg)
  10. Honorable mention Lucy’s Pizzaria (Pizza Pie, lol)  |  2770 S. 25th East  (…and if you must have a dessert to pay respect to the day, try their dessert calzones!  The Snickers is to pie die for!)

What about you?  Have you been ins-pie-red to celebrate on this most delicious of holidays?

    Sorry. My pun game has been a little crusty lately.

Some days-this is my office...but not often! I hav Some days-this is my office...but not often! I have been able to work from the office for most of the year, but when the kiddos moved to virtual learning last spring, I had to adapt to sharing a workspace with them at home.

I want to know! Is this YOU? Have you been working from home for months now (with little ones, furry ones, or both scurrying underfoot)?

If you've mastered the dining table office space, what ONE piece of advice would you share with a work-from-home newbie?

Please! Share your wisdom in the comments below so we can make the best of what seems to be an ever-changing situation!

Give the spankin’ new homeowners in your life a Give the spankin’ new homeowners in your life a housewarming gift they’ll use from day one!  Here are my top 10 to get the ideas flowing:
.
▪️Gift cards to home improvement stores (things like rakes, garbage cans and light bulbs are usually in short supply for a first time home buyer especially!)
▪️Gift cards to local takeout and pizza places (with a stack of paper plates to go with it!) I’m looking at you @lucysnypizza 
▪️A personalized welcome mat (have you seen @letterfolk mats? They’re a fave!)
▪️Customized stationary, address labels, wall plaques, etc. (@etsy has you covered here!)
▪️A pizza baking stone and a @papamurphys gift card (check out @bedbathandbeyond for a great stone)
▪️A WiFi password display sign
▪️A photog session for them to pose in front of their new front door (DM @meganowensphotography, she’s amazing 🙌🏻)
▪️Local goodies for out-of-staters (I love @farrsicecream spud bars or huckleberry candy, or @reeds_dairy cheese curds and ice cream!)
▪️Hand wash and lotion set (perfect for the rona + house guest + flu combo season we’re in)
▪️A “new home” holiday ornament (I got the cutest one from @magnolia)

New homeowners, we celebrate you-enjoy your first Christmas in your new home!

This guy-he hasn’t sold any houses that I know of, but man, his dedication to his work is simply unmatched! (As long as his work includes sleeping 21 hours a day!)

I can’t help but smile everytime I pass my little pantry. Small spaces are often overlooked, but @urbanwalls was the perfect solution to this easy DIY #transformation, and I’m 100% convinced anyone with a pair of scissors and a stool could knock a project like this outta the park!
.
If you find yourself in the .0003% of people that don’t own scissors-I’ll hook you up! 😉
.
Even better-if you go to start your project this weekend and realize you just need a bigger pantry-I can definitely help you there as well! 🏡
😍Feeling sentimental and reflective? Me, too!⁣

I look back and before I castigate the year as a total loss, I actually find myself finding so many reasons to be infinitely grateful.
.
I have learned so much, and for the first time in a long time-actually took some time to just...pause. It felt like letting out a long overdue exhale.
.
This somehow allowed important things to rise to the surface. Really important things!
.
Before diving headfirst into 2021, I hope you’ll join me in taking time to reflect on 2020—we’ll never have another one like it! What did you love? What was hard? What did you accomplish? What will be better about 2021 for you and yours?!
There’s a humbug-of-a-myth out there that you ha There’s a humbug-of-a-myth out there that you have to wait until spring to sell; that no one is looking to buy in December or January. Nothing could be further from the truth—buyers are out there 24/7/365!⁣⁣⁣

Here are 5 very merry reasons to sell your home this winter:⁣⁣⁣

3. Buyers are more serious.⁣⁣⁣
4. Your home already looks its best.⁣⁣⁣
5. You’ll enjoy a quicker sales process.⁣⁣⁣

Internet searches for “buying a home” peak in the winter months so if you’re thinking of selling, don’t wait. Need an experienced realtor who knows our area to help? Send me a message and let’s chat.

This week is full of spooky haunted events and attractions, and if you haven't tracked down a costume yet-this is the last weekend to find one before Halloween. If you just find yourself out and about, you MUST find your way over to White Sparrow Country store in Rexburg. It's the sweetest little spot full of southern fried pies, ice cream, penny candy and home décor! Have a great week East Idaho-and make sure to STAY (safe) + WANDER!
