Our family loves crepes. Or English pancakes. We make them every Shrove Tuesday, an English holiday where they clean out their cupboards before Lent.

Math is not my favorite. But years ago we started celebrating Pi Day and we love this tradition. Every March 14th (Get it? 3.14 PI ) we celebrate by making and eating yummy pies. The first year we made a Lemon Meringue pie with the Wolf Scouts working towards Achievement 8. Pot Pie is usually…
