As a math major, I love all types of pi(e). With 3/14 being today, you couldn’t ask for a better excuse to make and consume one of these delicious pies. Instead of ignoring the day because you hate math and everything related to numbers just add an “e” to the word and you will forget all about math. Bonus points if you actually like math and eat one of these at 1:59 pm this Thursday! So while you will probably want to avoid me on Pi Day with my “I <3 Math” shirt and song lyrics from Bye Bye Bye changed to Pi Pi Pi, check out these recipes and stay inside baking to lessen the likelihood of having to listen to my singing of “3.1415926535...”

10. Pizza Pie: Some people (usually Dads) call pizza a “pie” so that is also fair game this Pie Day. If you want to celebrate pi day by eating in the most minimal, cheap, and easy way, a pizza is definitely the way to go.
