One of the best parts of post-Thanksgiving leftovers (in my humble opinion) is going to the fridge and grabbing a piece of pie to just eat with your hands over the sink.

If you’re weak-willed and trying to avoid sweets now that 2019 is in full swing, I highly recommend that you skip over my column this week. Of course, if you know you’re going to be tasked with making or taking treats for any event this year, I also highly recommend saving this for later on. …
