Peanut Butter Pie {for Mikey}

Peanut Butter Pie – This No Bake Peanut Butter Pie recipe is all peanut butter with a no bake crust!

peanut butter pie

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!

    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.

    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.

  16. 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.

  20. 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.

  21. 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.
