What Leslie had to say on Friday, November 13th, 2009
I do! I am a big-time pie person. I always make a lot of pies for Thanksgiving and thought since that wonderful holiday is right around the corner, I’d give away this very cute Thanksgiving pie basket.
And I’ll send a Leslie Kelly book from my backlist–winner’s choice.
Because of how close we are to the holiday, U.S. winners only, please!
Just comment (why not tell us all what kind of pie you like the best?) and you’re entered!
Leslie Kelly used to say she wanted to be a doctor when she grew up, but then she discovered Nancy Drew books. Being a flashlight-under-the-covers-nose-in-book reader throughout her childhood, she couldn’t think of anything else she’d rather do as an adult than continue to lose herself in fictional stories. Her real life marriage of 20 years to the man of her dreams is a constant reinforcement that happily-ever-afters really can happen…and that they’re worth writing about. Living in Maryland, Leslie spends her non-writing time laughing a lot with the above-mentioned romance hero and their three daughters. Though an author of more than thirty sexy, contemporary comedies, she has recently branched out to write dark romantic suspense under the pseudonym Leslie Parrish.

Great prize. Pumpkin pie is my favorite.

Hot Cherry Pie is the best . ! TGIF …

I am always in charge of the pumpkin pie because I usually double (if not more) the spices a regular recipe calls for (everyone thinks I have some special pie recipe). My 10 year old daughter always cuts the leaf or pumpkin shapes for the top because she thinks it tastes better with decorations.
Have a good weekend all!!!!!
Comment
I love fall and the smell of apples baking with a little cinnamon and nutmeg.
Apple pie is my favorite!
Comment
That is so cute. My aunt used to make the best pies and custard was my absolute favorite. Hope everyone has a great weekend!
Comment
My friend makes the most fabulous pie on earth – Kentucky Bourbon. Chocolate, pecans and a little bourbon for that extra kick.
:thanksbig:
Comment
My favorite pie is apple but pumpkin comes in a very close second. Have a great weekend everyone :)
Comment
You are kidding, right? I love just about all kinds of desserts and pie is right up there. I don’t care for lemon merinque or pumpin or mince.
Some of my favs are: rhubarb, apple, prune and apricot, peach, pecan, choc. cream, key lime (without meringue – lol)!
Comment
That’s such a cute basket! My favorite pie has to be apple pie- just typing this makes me want a piece :)
Comment
Its been so long since Ive visited this site, Hi to everyone and happy Friday.
My favorite pie has to be chocolate. I love any kind of food that invovles chocolate one of my favorite parts of Thanksgiving is the pie.
Comment
Growing up, it was apple pie all the way for me. However, I grew up and married a man who likes to cook (yay, me!) Now, my favorite pie has got to be his buttermilk pie. It’s quite legendary around here. Have a great weekend.
Comment
I have been doing pumpkin pies from scratch most of my life- I grew up on a pumpkin farm. In fact I have a bunch of pumpkins I need to get to this weekend. And apples. Hubby loves apple pie esp with a good piece of cheddar on the side. And Blueberry. And Cherry. And Blackberry. I grow those myself too.
Oh yeah, pie is a big fave with our family.
:givethanks:
Comment
Pumpkin Pie is my favorite. TGIF!!
Comment
I would have to say that pumpkin is my favorite since I generally don’t do cooked fruit. Happy Friday the 13th.
Comment
Apple pie is my favorite. throw a little carmel on top and it cant be beat. :fourturks:
Comment
I like lots of pies. As for my favorite it is probably a toss up between Chocolate cream pie…served very cold or Wicks Sugar cream pie. These are from a local place…they are sold frozen at least throughout Indiana and are Awsome. great warm right out of the oven or cold as leftovers.
Comment
Mmmmm, pumpkin pie is THE best. Happy Friday :)
Comment
My favorite pie is cherry. Yummy!
:thankshappy:
Comment
I have two favorite pies. My dad’s chess pie(his mother’s recipe) and my grandmother’s chocolate chess pie(mom’s mother). My dad will be making chess pie for Thanksgiving and my grandmother will make chocolate chess pie for Christmas.
Hope everyone has an awesome weekend!
Comment
This is so cute. I love pumpkin pie!
Comment
Even though I’m in Canada and can’t participate in the draw, I thought I’d chime in anyway.
Pumpkin is my absolute favourite, but a *good* homemade (real pumpkin) pie, with *real* whipped cream. Mincemeat pie (or tart) is a close second.
Actually, while I do like pie, I’m not a huge crust fan, so often will buy raw pumpkin and make just the filling (with about half the sugar) for myself.
Mom’s pies are another matter–she makes fabulous crust. I don’t live close to her, geographically, so it’s been years since I’ve had one of her pies. :-(
Comment
Very cute prize, and I imagine perfect for transporting a couple of pies. My favorite is Chocolate Kahlua Pecan Pie. Yes, it’s that good!
Comment
that basket is beautiful, can’t wait for pumpkin pie! :thanksbig:
Comment
My favorite is brown sugar (also known as cream) pie.
Comment
Nice prize. Apple pie is my favorite. Have a great weekend everyone.
Comment
pecan pie (okay, probably won’t be eating it this year because it is probably a gazillion WW points, but I might sneak a sliver).
Comment
Does the answer “a well made pie” count? I’ve had bad versions of my favorites and good versions of others. If you made me pick one to eat now, I would go with chocolate custard. Ask me later and it might change to peach or blueberry. :-)
Comment
I like a lot of pies but I think pecan pie is my favorite. Happy Friday!
Comment
My aunt Mattie always made the BEST sweet potato pie. I haven’t had one since she passed away, but they were my favorite. Now, however, I’d have to say apple. Yum!
Comment
Does the basket come with a pie?!?!?!
I like pumpkin pie, sweet potato pie, apple pie – but am especially fond of lemon supreme pie from Baker’s Square. And I found out the only one by us closed. I could cry.
Comment
What an adorable basket. I enjoy lemon pie. Just my favorite.
Comment
OMGosh. Warm pecan pie drizzled with caramel and vanilla ice cream. Excuse me… where’s the orgasm smilie?
Comment
Happy Friday the 13th!!!! I make pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving – only time of the year. Can’t wait for the upcoming holidays.
Comment
I love the classic pumpkin pie…but any type of chocolate pie is a close second.
Happy Friday!

Pecan pie is my favorite. Have a great weekend everyone!
Comment
I rarely eat pie. The last piece of pie I ate was in Dallas when I won the lunch with the Plotmonkeys. I’d love a book though.
Cher :fallleaf:
Comment
OOOhhh, coconut cream with lots of meringue.
My little country grandma used to call meringue “cow slobber”….but I ate it anyway!

So many to chose from! Thanksgiving, pecan. Christmas, old fashioned rhubarb. St. Paddy’s Day, key lime. Any time? Chess, custard, coconut cream, or apple. Uhm, yeah. I love pie. Good thing I have a great pastry recipe and can bake, huh?
:thankseat:
Comment

I love chocolate cream pie best! But during this season nothing beats pumpkin. And what an awesome giveaway! :thanksbig:
Comment
It would be easier to say what kind of pie I don’t like – coconut cream. Cherry is a good one warm with ice cream on top :)
Comment
:gobbler: I love Kentucky Derby Pie–pecan pie with chocolate chips and bourbon. Wonderful!
Comment
I’m a two-fer girl. I love pecan and pumpkin pie. They must be warm and slathered with cool whip! Yum Yum! Now I’m getting hungry and I can see my bottom getting bigger!
Comment
I got really balsy today and sent out another query to an agent. This time in addition to the query letter I enclosed the first chapter. Yeah, I know you’re not supposed to do that but I don’t have anything to lose. After all, the only thing they can do is say no. I’ve definitely heard that before. This will be the 24th agent I’ve queried. And today is Friday the 13th! But I had my first date with my husband on Friday the 13th and we’ve been married for 20 years.
Maybe I’ll get lucky.
Take care all,
Fearless Cher

Oh my! Now I want a piece of pie!!! Not sure I can pick just one but I do love pumpkin pie and use the old recipe my mom used. It is from Pet milk (I think) or maybe Libby’s, but it is the old recipe not the one you see now. For some reason they changed the recipe, the old one is best!! I always make the pumpkin pie. It is my favorite breakfast the day after Thanksgiving with real whip cream on top! Yum! Yum!! :thankshappy: :thankstired: No pie icons!!!
:fourturks: I also love lemon meringue, apple, huckleberry or blackberry, I could go on & on!
Everyone enjoy the weekend.

My pie story happened when I was first married. Husband had to show me how to fry an egg even though my mother cooked in a local restaurant, I’d not had an interest in learning how to cook. Both my mother and my mother-in-law were excellent cooks; so my first married holiday I decided to try baking pies as my contribution to the holiday dinner. I baked three, an apple, pumpkin, and cherry, my husband’s favorite. Somehow, the moon and stars must have been in alignment because they turned out great. My husband confided that mine were better than both our mothers but that tidbit was just between the two of us, and he reinforced why I married him.
Comment
I’m pretty simple. I LOVE cherry pie and ice cream. But a close second would be pecan.
Comment
I Looooooooove pies! My favorites are Cherry Crumb and Chocolate Pecan.

That’s a hard question. Mmm…pie is yummy. I have to go with chocolate pecan pie. I’ve only had it once, made by my husband’s aunt, and it was SO rich, but SO good.
