sweets: Key Lime Pie

Tuesday, November 27, 2012 12 Comments

I consider myself a Key Lime Pie connoisseur.

Wait, can I add that to my resume, too?

Key Lime Pie aficionado, poopy diaper changer, graphic designer, referee….heheehe…would you hire me?!

I am always on the hunt for the PERFECT Key Lime Pie…I think my hunt is over!

No joke (I WOULD NOT JOKE ABOUT PIE)…this is the easiest & yummiest recipe ever!  See for yourself:)

      You have to try Mari! Maybe lowfat sour cream and/or lowfat cream cheese? I don’t know if it would still work but you could always try as an option :) xx ♥ m

    I saw somewhere where you listed the brand of key lime you used but now I can’t find it. You got it at wegmans. Will you please remind me? I would like to make this this weekend…looks great! Thank you.

      Yes Tara!!! On FB :) Got it at Wegman’s (it’s on a fixture at the end near the Jamaican food section in the International aisle) the brand is “Nellie & Joe’s Famous Key West Lime Juice” (http://www.amazon.com/Nellie-Joes-Lime-Juice/dp/B0005XO85A) (I’m pretty sure it was under $5 too.) (ALSO) Looked for it at my other Wegman’s & they had it in the drink mix section (think margarita mix area). So I guess depending on your store…they could be in either spot :) Hope that helps – good luck!!

I completely forgot that I put this recipe up (on the ol’ blog) forever ago & was reminded of it today. The kids wanted to try a bag of muddy buddies from Wawa & I said fresh muddy buddies are soooo much better… and fresh warm muddy buddies with @traderjoes #cookiebutter is to die for.  #youhavetotrythis #youwontregretit #traderjoesmusthaves

As a creative, I often forget to take the time to just intentionally sit and draw, just to draw, with no clear path in mind.  To let the pen lead me in a direction. 

I don’t know who she is… she was just in my head ✍🏻🌼🌸
{V said she looks like if Frida had a daughter} 🤔😆🤷🏼‍♀️

It felt good tho - really really good - to just draw.

✔️Me Time Goal: be more intentional with loose, process based, no rules, creative time.

Speaking of yummy breakfast. Let’s forget the Speaking of yummy breakfast. 

Let’s forget the kiddos & their fruit platter for a moment shall we 😉

This is my EVERYDAY breakfast - my strawberry chocolate protein shake! 

🍓🍫After working on several protein shake concoctions for the past year… trying to find the best tasting/best macro ratio/least calorie one for me - this is it. I have this every morning after my workout… literally every morning. I will also make it with the Afterburn vanilla plant based (the whey based one is too much for my stomach) protein powder too, but I prefer the chocolate. 

(swipe for ingredients/macro breakdown)

Now, protein shakes… yeah I know, ewwww, right?! Noooooo!  Guys, before I started at Burn, almost a year ago, the last protein shake I had was over 20 years ago (when I was fitness crazed twenty something) - I HATED protein shakes.  They were sooooo gross that I used to hold my nose to drink them quickly… they were nasty. #nojoke #iheldmynose

Friends, protein powder has come a looooonnnnng way in 20 years!  Now I don’t know about other protein powders out there, I looked around a little, but I couldn’t find anything comparable to the calorie/macro ratio that Afterburn has.  #notanad #myhonesttogoodnessopinion
Kiddos breakfast today. 🤗 I love doing little Kiddos breakfast today. 🤗

I love doing little boards like this for the kids meals - you get the most bang for your buck. Plus, it looks more fancy & complicated than it really is - it’s really just fruit placed on a plate with yogurt & waffles. 

They each get their own board. #becausesiblings #noexplanationneeded 

I only got a pic of one plate because T started devouring it before I could snap a pic 😆

Their boards today have:
🍓🫐 🍌
strawberries
raspberries 
blueberries 
bananas
satsuma mandarins
clementines
blackberries
blood oranges
yogurt
blueberry waffles 

I give them a fork and a spoon - the yogurt can be used for dipping or just eaten as yogurt.
