Peanut Butter Pie – This No Bake Peanut Butter Pie recipe is all peanut butter with a no bake crust!
This past Sunday a fellow food blogger, Jennie Perillo, host of In Jennie’s Kitchen, lost her husband to a massive heart attack. It was sudden… without a warning.
My heart aches for her and her girls, and words cannot express how sorry I am for their loss. They have been in my prayers every day since the tragedy.
Despite the fact that I, and many others, don’t know her personally, all we wanted to do was help her in any way possible.
But she had only one simple request; make a Peanut Butter Pie for Mikey and share it with your loved ones. She reminded us that tomorrow’s not a guarantee – seize the moment, and don’t wait to say I Love You.
Jennie, may your strength prevail to help you through this difficult time, and may there be comfort in knowing that someone so special was and will always be a part of you. Our heartfelt condolences go out to you and your family.

This has been such a tragedy and my heart aches for Jennie! I only knew her through Twitter and her blog, but felt a kinship…hers is one of my very favorite blogs.
I finally bought the ingredients tonight for a peanut butter butterfinger pie that I will make for my hubby tomorrow. I’m a bit late as my brother was in town visiting last week….I just took the time to really enjoy his visit and my family.
It’s just so, so sad & my heart and prayers are with her and her girls!
Wonderful post, such a sad thing. My heart goes out to the family.
Lovely post, all of these are so wonderful to read
This looks so good. As soon as I get my kids in bed I’m going to mix of a single serving of this stuff!
Kate, this was a beautiful tribute, I can only hope that Jennie feels all the love and the sweetness of the peanut butter pies that she and Mikey have inspired.
Good can come out of the worse situations. Jennie now has the most touching amount of support from a community who truly cares about one another and may help her though this horrible time. We know Mikey had good taste to in his sweets 🙂

Such a tragedy. Your pie is beautiful, a wonderful tribute.
This pie looks gorgeous! And what a touching tribute. I can’t even imagine facing that kind of a loss. Life is too darn short.
I made one on Friday, too. What a wonderful tribute. So amazing to see the food blogging community supporting Jennifer during this difficult time.
heartfelt condolence to Jennie and her family. Mikey was a really nice guy. Making the pie is a beautiful way to pay tribute to him. R.I.P Mikey. Lovely photos.
Such an amazing gesture from you Kate, and heart warming. I had clicked on Jen’s blog and read, then cried. Just another reason to “live in the moment and enjoy every bit of it.” Don’t look behind, don’t look forward, just BE.
This is a lovely post for Jennie and her girls. I’m loving these posts… reading how everyone puts their own thoughts into it, their own love. It’s truly remarkable how the food community comes out and really comes together in such a time!
I saw this the other day on Tartelette and clicked over and cried. Her last dance post was heartbreaking. I think I’ll make one of these too.
What a tragedy. It really does make you realise how much we should savour the here-and-now, live in the present and appreciate all we have, particularly the sweet things in life like your beautiful peanut butter pie.
I think you said it perfectly, Kate 🙂
….just beautiful. Hugs to you.
This is lovely Kate. Such a wonderful tribute. Your pie looks amazing.
Beautiful post… So great to see everyone coming together to make peanut butter pie, support Jennie, and celebrate Mikey.

This is beautiful Kate. I cannot stop thinking about this. We lost our brother in law Mike last year the same way. I feel so much empathy for Jennie right now. The foodie community sure made a huge show of support. So proud to be part of such an incredible community.
I love seeing all of these peanut butter pies. It’s such a tragedy and I’ve definitely come to tears reading Jenni’s blog the past couple of days. But it’s heartwarming to know that the blogger community is here for it’s members, it truly is amazing.

Every time I see one of these recipes, I go hug my family. I can’t imagine facing that kind of loss and getting up every day. What a beautiful tribute to what sounds like a man who was a tremendous father and husband.
