Every year on March 14th Pi Day is celebrated. I love any excuse to make math and learning fun, so in honor of Pi Day this year we are eating PIE all day! I thought I would share these easy food recipes our family will be eating so you join in the fun in celebrating Pi Day.
First a little refresher on Pi. Pi is the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter. It’s a constant number, so no matter how small or large your circle is, Pi will always be the same! Pi is a never-ending number, and it continues without repetition or pattern. It’s approximately 3.14159265359. Pi Day is celebrated on March 14th in classrooms across the country.
Now onto the food, I don’t know about your kids but if I say we are having a quiche for breakfast they will say gross, but if I say I am making a breakfast pie they will eat it, (don’t tell them they are the same thing).
For lunch, we will be making our own pizza’s using Wholly Wholesome Gluten Free Pizza Dough. For dinner chicken pot pies and to top it all off Apple Pie using Wholly Wholesome ready-to-bake Pie Crust.
As a busy mom to four boys, I appreciate shortcuts that assist me in my cooking adventures. Wholly Wholesome has the finest all-natural ready-to-eat, ready-to-bake and thaw-and-serve baked goods producer on the market. It is especially nice that they can be found at my local Bel-Air Grocery Store.
