How I Celebrated

If you were with me from day one, you know how much I dislike candied cherries. I was not excited about the pie today. Luckily, I didn't have to vomit because there was so much crust, so much sugar, and basically just cherry flavored jelly in the middle so it wasn't a problem *phew*. And of course, Nate gobbled up the rest. Cheers!

Diet Helpers 

• Sugar Free

  Splenda has their version of cherry pie here
  There are also plenty of muffin recipes, even Martha is getting in on the action



• Gluten Free

  The big thing you have to worry about is the crust. Try this recipe from cup 4 cup
  And here are a few for muffins. That is a bit more complicated to deal with, well I guess you can get something like the Bob's Red Mill gluten free muffin mix.

• Vegetarian

History

Not a big fruit pie fan, not a big cherry fan. Muffins are way better. Cherry pie is for stripping to like on Bad Grandpa, so clearly, it is an American dish served often on the Fourth of July. Muffins are also American? Oh, I'm sorry, muffin tops.

Merchandise

I would strongly suggest merchandise from mediamuffin
