Food blogger Jennifer Perillo suddenly lost her husband, Mikey, last week. In a brave and moving post, she asked the community to make a peanut butter pie in his honor to share with our loved ones today. Sometimes when there are no words, no gestures that can take away grief and pain or adequately relay sympathies, we bake.
I followed Jennie’s Creamy Peanut Butter Pie recipe making two tweaks – substituting mascarpone cheese for the cream cheese along with a ready made graham cracker crust.

so heartbreaking… though inspiring and encouraging to see the overflow of support, love and compassion for her!
I know – the power of social media is amazing. Very bittersweet but am hoping she and her family can find some comfort in this unique tribute.
