This is one of those recipes to enjoy making. Something to really put the time and love into, making it even better to savor every bite when you're done. I found this one in a Taste of Home magazine at a check out years back.

Pillsbury 2-pack Pie Crusts and Lucky Leaf 21oz- Blueberry Pie Filling. This combination makes for an easy and delicious Blueberry Pie. If baking with kids, they don't always have the tolerance to stick with a project. Using these pre-made ingredients speeds up the process so they can stick with it to the end. If you have multiple children, split the todo's between them: -preheating the oven to 425° -pressing the bottom crust into the pan -pouring in the filling & spreading it evenly -laying out the top crust & cutting strips (we use a pizza cutter) -making a lattice weave with the strips -sealing the edges with a fork -setting the timer to 35 minutes (check on it & decide if it needs 5-10 more minutes at this point) We always put the pie in and take it out of the oven, but everything else the kids could do. They love the idea of making the pie themselves.
