Hello there! It’s Jana from Double the Deliciousness and I’m so excited that it’s pie season. That is an actual season in my world, and it’s one of my favorites! We even have a family tradition every year around Thanksgiving involving pie …….”We’re Thankful for Pie Night”! Every family brings their favorite pie and we gorge on pie and visit and laugh and have the best time! Raspberry Ribbon pie is one of my favorites, so I’m excited to share the recipe with you today.

We live a state away from family and so on those years we DON’T visit family for Thanksgiving we invite friends over to our home and enjoy pie together. Pie brings people together, did you know? And we love having friends over and eating pie together so much that on the years we DO travel we still have our Pie Night with our friends the weekend before Thanksgiving….and then we have our family one on Thanksgiving Eve.  Yes, we end up having two! You can never have too much pie, right?  (Except that one year…spent the entire night with my head in the toilet. I didn’t think I’d ever be able to eat pie again…glad I was wrong!) It is the best tradition, and how could it not be…pie, friends, laughter, pie, family, visiting, and did I mention PIE?

Raspberry Ribbon Pie with Jell-O and Cream Cheese

Over the years we’ve had some AMAZING pies (you can check out all my pie recipes over on my blog…I’ve got quite a few & they are all delicious!) and raspberry ribbon pie has always been one of the favorites, and is always one of the first ones gone. The vanilla wafer crust is the bomb & you can’t go wrong with Jello-O , cream cheese and raspberries. Hope you have a wonderful Holiday season and enjoy some PIE!
