My mission was dessert. With roasted veggies, pork chops and salad in the works, I decided to celebrate the warm weather (60 degrees in January!?) with key lime pie with a twist...of lemon. I made lemon and lime pie (lymon, if you remember Sprite commercials of olde). I got entangled in the age old battle all bakers face: when making a line dessert, food coloring or no food coloring? I decided to go for it...and go hard or go home right? Give me a break...I made my own graham cracker crust, AND meringue topper cookies, so I deserve to use as much green food coloring as I want!! The pie was delicious....dessert AND breakfast the next day!
