It’s been awhile since I shared some food porn, but today’s food porn is quite magnificent (if I do say so myself).
Today I made a pie. From scratch. I even made the crust from scratch. I have mad skillz.
Notice the lattice crust? Oh yeah baby. I cannot wait to eat this pie later tonight with my sister (not the whole pie, but a good sized piece of it for sure).
How did I make the pie? Well, I searched the Internets for some recipes — which I sort of followed.

2 3/4 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup vegetable oil (I used 1/4 cup vegetable oil and 1/4 cup grapeseed oil)
1/2 cup milk
Sift flour into bowl, add salt. Pour milk and oil into one measuring cup – do not stir – and add all at once to flour. Stir until mixed and separate into two flat balls. Refrigerate for 15-20 min. Roll out on lightly floured surface.

1/2 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons butter melted

Pasta, milk, cider vinegar, butter, chicken and the following Wildtree goodies: Buffalo Wing Marinade, Natural Grapeseed Oil and Alfredo Extraordinaire. (you can click on the links to view the products on my Wildtree site. For nutritional info, click the product profile card link on each page).
First thing’s first: Line a pan with foil.
Next, get your chicken marinating. I mixed about 1/2 cup of the cider vinegar with 1/4 cup of grapeseed oil and 1 TBSP of the Buffalo Wing Marinade. (I made a half recipe).
Mix it up good then add your chicken. Then put it aside for at least 20 min. For more flavor, prepare this the night before and let it marinade all night in the fridge.
Now you should start getting your water boiling for the pasta. Sorry, no photo because after I did the chicken, I forgot to take pics until the end. Deal.
At this point, stick the chicken in the oven at 400. I think I cooked them 15-20 min a side.
Once the water is boiling, add your pasta and cook according [...]
