My recipe for having it all together is refreshing—
with just the right amount of calories.
Perfect for any event.
Messy days included.

It takes a few ingredients—
some you might already have tucked away in your pantry.
Others? You’ll have to dig around for.
And if your pantry looks anything like mine once did,
you’ll need to roll up your sleeves
and toss out those moldy should-haves
and expired expectations.

Let’s be clear:
This is not one of those “just add water and stir” kind of deals.
Nope.
This recipe is proudly poise-and-precision free.

Now—grab your mixing bowl, and here’s what you’ll need:

• 1 bag of laughter – the big one, not the off-brand.
  (Actually, make it two.)
  You’ll need this when everything spills—and it will.
  Be sure to get the kind made with 100% pure joy—
  not the stuff borrowed from circumstances.
• 2 scoops of patience – sifted slowly, not rushed.
  Don’t fake it.
  You’ll know it’s real when it rises, not flutters.
• A pinch of surrender –
  this ain’t found in every cookbook,
  but it’s the secret that softens the crust.
• Faith to taste – add generously.
  And when you think you’ve added enough?
  Scoop in one more heaping spoonful.

Mix it all together with clean hands
and a heart that’s been through a few things.
Knead it with prayer.
Bake it in the heat of real life.

And when it’s ready, don’t you dare be shy—
cut yourself a big ol’ slice.

Because that, my friend,
is how you make a Peace of Pie.
Just for you.

But wait—there’s more…
Is it attainable?

Absolutely.
You don’t need a perfect pantry or a spotless kitchen.
Just show up, dress up—
with a side of apron-wrapped wisdom
and the courage to bake through the messy moments.

Having it all doesn’t mean you won’t burn a few batches.
It means you’ll keep showing up—
ready to serve what matters most.

A five-star recipe.
Made from scratch.
Served with love.
