Strawberry Pies and Summer Cocktails

Have you ever eaten strawberry pie? It was a staple of the summer when I was growing up, but as an adult I was surprised that many people have never tried it! Strawberry pie is delicious combination of sweet and tart. It's best when the strawberries are freshly picked and the pie crust is made from scratch. 

This summer, I've been forcing myself to step away from my jewelry bench and do some of the other things I love to do -- like make pies and hit up all the happy hours in my neighborhood.
