I’ve been craving strawberries. And not just regular delicious strawberries, but the big, juicy ones you can find in the pies at Anna Miller’s next to Pearlridge Center on Oahu:

It’s a coffee shop restaurant with a good assortment of comfort foods like omelets, tuna melts, BLTs, roast beef, and are open 24 hours. They’ve also got a good selection of homemade pies, my favorites would be the Chocolate Haupia Pie and the Strawberry Pie.
Here’s a terrific recipe for strawberry pie from Brown Eyed Baker. She also provides a recipe for a delicious flaky crust, so if you don’t have a favorite crust recipe handy, this one will do the trick. The recipe calls for 3 pounds of strawberries, but the larger size containers at the supermarket came in 2 pounds so I just reduced the ingredients by 1/3. I used a 5 1/2″ springform pan the first time (which leaked strawberry syrup in the fridge, so be careful if you use a springform pan!) and the second time I used 4 small tart pans, which fit all but 2 large strawberries. I also ate some of the pie with plain nonfat Chobani yogurt mixed with vanilla protein powder–good stuff! The protein powder made the Greek-style yogurt even more thick, it made for a deliciously healthy breakfast. :)
Be sure to get the recipe from Brown Eyed Baker, it’ll be a great pick-me-up for the winter!
What are some of your winter cravings? Anything out-of-season, out-of-state, or even out of the country??

I love single serving or mini anythings and yours look delicious. I also love Brown Eyed Baker recipes. I currently have my first ever go at a mixed berry cobbler … We will see, 20 minutes to go.

I like mini-portions, too! The only downside is the time to make them and the clean-up. :) Good luck wit your berry cobbler, I bet it’ll be delicious!
