Labor Day Weekend Entertaining Made Simple with Southern Baked Pie

Aug 28, 2025

Hi friend,

Amanda here, founder of Southern Baked Pie, and someone who never misses a chance to turn a long weekend into something meaningful (and preferably, pie-filled).

There’s something quietly wonderful about Labor Day. No big fuss, no pressure, just a gentle pause to catch your breath and enjoy life’s simple pleasures: a slow afternoon with loved ones, good food passed around a backyard table, and that first bite of something warm, flaky, and straight-from-the-oven delicious.

Whether you’re hosting or just showing up with dessert in hand, I’ve gathered some easy entertaining tips, recipe ideas, and favorite finds to help make this Labor Day as memorable as it is manageable.


Planning a crowd-pleasing main dish? Our Chicken Pot Pie or Pot Roast Pie offers comfort and zero prep. Just bake and serve.

If you’ve got a full house or lake weekend ahead, the Southern Supper Box gives you everything you need to feed a hungry crew without breaking a sweat.

For dessert, I can’t resist the Chocolate Chess or Caramel Pecan Pie - two classics that feel just fancy enough for a holiday weekend but are easy enough to love on any day.

Labor Day done the Southern Baked way.
