White Chocolate Peanut Butter Mini Pies

 Yesterday we found out the sex of baby #2.  Of course I am not going to just tell you. I need to make some reveal desserts for friends and family first and then you will find out.   It always seems to be such a big debate whether to find out or not?  People who wait always say they want the surprise.  Just because I want to find out at 20 weeks instead of 40 weeks doesn't mean I am not surprised when I find out.   I like to spend those remaining 20 weeks, shopping, getting ready, thinking about names (another big debate in my house).   One of the best things about finding out early is shopping for the post season deals, this can be especially true if you having a different sex than you already have.
If the sex is the same well that makes shopping harder to justify but not impossible.  Babies clothes are just too cute so no matter what baby #2 is I will be doing some shopping in some form.

Today is March 14,  stated differently, it is 3.14, stated another way it is Pi Day (if you remember your grade school math).  Pi day means a day for making, baking and eating pies. A fellow blogger is getting married one year from today so a whole bunch of us have gotten together to bake all kinds of different pies; sweet pies, hand pies, mini pies and savory pies.

Check out my mini pies and all the deliciously wonderful pies from my blogging friends.
