I can’t believe how fast this summer has gone by! My son has been busy with drum lessons and cross country training and now marching band camp is about to get into full swing for him. Katy Rose has cheerleading practice coming up soon and my husband and I are in shock at the time warp we seem to have landed in where one day they start kindergarten and the next it’s high school!
There is still time to savor the sweetness of summer, though. In fact, there is always time to savor the sweetness of any season if you put your heart into it.
With that in mind, I’m sharing 12 summer pies with you today. Now y’all know me so you know that just about every post here has a story on it. Tales of summers past when I was a girl, lessons I learned from my grandaddy, and even flying lessons await you when you click on various pie recipes, so be sure you visit all of them and maybe even pick one to surprise your family and friend with tonight.
Life IS sweet, but if we don’t get out there and taste it, we’ll never get to appreciate how much.
Now, how ’bout some pie?
Triple Chocolate Brownie Pie
Frozen Turtle Pie
Cracker Pie
Chocolate Chip Cheesecake

Yum 
Christy, I think I will try to make the Buttermilk Pie. It looks delicious! I went back and read the story and it reminded me so much of my care-free days as a child….smile. Thanks for a great recipe!
I like pies better than cake. I think I’ll try your delicious looking triple chocolate brownie pie. Kids do grow up fast. It seems only like yesterday that my three were small now they’re grown with children of their own.
I am going to try the chocolate chip cheesecake pie!! I looks yummy!!!
I am so happy to see a pie with splenda. My husband is recently become diabetic and I would love to have more recipes using splenda or hints on how to make the substitution.
Hey Katrina! I have a lot of recipes that you can use Splenda in because that is what I use for myself the most. There is even a list of Splenda recipes in my first cookbook and here is a link that you might find helpful 🙂 along with tips 🙂 https://www.southernplate.com/2011/01/better-for-your-diet-southern-recipes.html
I can not wait to try making one of these pies. Enjoy summer. It goes by too fast.
Caramel banana looks good.
Oh my, Christy, that peach pie sounds good. This weekend for sure.
Christy, this is a perfect selection of pies! Can’t decide which one I’d like to make first. Buttermilk is always a favorite of mine, but the one with peaches looks divine!
Thanks for posting these.
Oh my, they all look delicious….I would like one of each if you’re baking them 🙂
Don’t know which one I want to try first…..
Just sent a copy of this email to my sister in Ky, trying to get her to join your blog….told her you were one of my favorites…..I have about 4 favorites…..and I open these email every day that I get them…..love your recipes and your cute stories of your family, etc…..
Did not see winner list for day 5…..if there was a day 5 🙂 I know I went in and left comment about 6 days to be sure I didn’t miss one…..but guess I didn’t win, and my name wasn’t on the first 4…..but my daughter ANGELA won a magazine subscription….she was all excited…..that was her first time to enter….she said mom, we can share 🙂 that was sweet…..we live about 12 miles apart and she comes to my town almost every day……so now she is one of your subscribers too…..
Now working on my sister in KY……her name is LINDA…..
Hi Christy , made a coconut pound cake for my husband birthday and I must say it was sooo good now I am going to make the coconut and buttermilk pies.Christy coming from NC and being born in the,the things you speak of are not new to me. My family moved to Wimington NC when I was 7 but went back every summer and loved it and still do. I started dreaming on a visit to the DRS. Office, his nurse was so kind and sweet a real gem.I knew then I wanted to be like that nurse. my mom said to be good at what you do.I worked hard real hard to make my dream come true, real hard I worked full time. I had kind people like you telling me Liz you can and will make it. BSN IN NURSING. Mom also said be your self always. Thanks Christy for your God given wisdom. God bless.
Love your Buttermilk Pie!!!!!
Well, we can just eat pie all summer! What else do we need!?
Looks yummy! Trying the Peach yum yum!
Oh my…. They all look so good! Which one shall we try first?
I plan on making your Buttermilk Peach Pie at the campground this week-end. Looks easy enough to make in a small kitchen. Hope it bakes o.k. in a toaster oven.
Christy I saw your recipe for Refrigerator Broccoli Salad in the July 2014 issue of Guideposts. Your all over the place.
God Bless
🙂 Oh wow! Thanks for telling me Jeanne, I haven’t seen the issue yet.
I think I have made them all except the Oreo Pie. Its next on the list.
I think we might have the same son. Ours are the same age and mine is doing cross country, drum lessons and band camp too! I’m starting to get a little worried about school starting, because I know how busy it gets. Thanks for reminding me that summer isn’t over yet. I’m not going to waste the rest of the summer worrying about school starting. I’m going to enjoy what I have!
The buttermilk peach pie is my favorite!!! So easy and so delicious!
I have made the Frozen Oreo pie twice and everyone LOVES it. I have also made the frozen turtle pie (that is my favorite). Thanks for the Pie Friday’s!!!!
I am so glad you are enjoying the recipes Beth!!!
I cannot find your June videos after your weekend vacation. Would you please direct me to them. I probably overlooked them. Thanks so much Christy!
The Lemon Pie is the one for me to try first! If I did leave it topless, while baking for 15 minutes, should I have it covered? Or the uncovered top will be ok uncovered?
Thanks,
Sandi
Mercy, woman, mercy!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I MUST lose 10 pounds before October and you certainly are NOT making it easy for me! I want to make and devour every single one of these beautiful pies!
Sorry Susan 😉
Have you made this with fresh peaches? Just add extra sugar and maserate them, maybe?
Your Chocolate Chip Cheesecake recipe in the 6/29/15 issue looks great and I want to make it. Would you please look at the cooking time and tell me if 25 to 28 minutes at 350 degrees is a misprint? I have made several cheesecake recipes before and all of them call for about double the time shown in the Chocolate Chip Cheesecake. Thanks. Gene
Hey Gene! That’s the correct time. It’s really a much smaller (shallow) pie than most recipes. I think you’ll see that is the big difference. Thanks and have a great day!
I have been receiving your recipes for quite a while and love them!!!! I also own a couple of your cookbooks including your latest. I love all of them! So many cookbooks include ingredients I never even heard of! I am cooking for family, not royalty! . Anyway, I never received a binder for the recipes and would love to have one! God bless!
Hey Judy, thank you so much! I sure am proud to have you here and it sounds like you and I have the same heart for cooking!
I looked up your email subscription and the binder set was delivered April 21. It looks like you opened the email and clicked on it but you may have gotten called away and forgot. It should still be in your inbox under April 21 but if you accidentally deleted it, just go to the bottom of any of my emails and click “unsubscribe” then go subscribe again at the bottom of any of my posts here. You’ll get a confirmation email that you have to click a “confirm” button in and then right after the binder set will go to your inbox again.
I hope this helps because I want you to have that! 🙂
