Key Lime Pie

Easiest pie to make! It's mine and my husbands favorite pie.

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 prepared Graham Cracker Crust
• 2 cans sweetened condensed milk
• 1/2 c. sour cream (light)
• 3/4 c. key lime juice (found in the liquor isle)
  
• 1 T. grated lime zest

CRUST: 1 1/2 sleeves of Graham crackers, 2 cups crushed. 1/4 c. sugar. 1 stick butter, melted. Combine and press into a pie pan. Bake @ 350* for 10 minutes.

DIRECTIONS: Mix ingredients until smooth. Pour into a prepared pie crust. Bake @ 350* for 8 minutes. *You don't want to brown the pie. Just bake long enough to see tiny pinhole bubbles come to the surface. CHILL the pie. Garnish with lime slices and whipped cream if desired.

The slice in this pic isn't chilled. Couldn't wait. :) Still so good!

This pic is 3 day old pie. Chilled in the fridge. As you can see it sets up very nicely and tastes even better after a few days!

You can add a drop or two of green food coloring for a yummy green treat for St. Patrick's Day!


Enjoy!

Avocado Chicken Salad

Just found THIS new recipe and it's got all my favorites in it. It is SO super good! My kids really liked it as well! We ate it in a pita and added crushed tortilla chips on top for crunch. YUM! It would be great on a croissant roll as well OR you can eat it without the sandwich. Just scoop it up with tortilla chips! Mmmm... That could get a little dangerous though. I would prooooobably, accidentally, ;) devour the whole bowl.

INGREDIENTS:

• 2 cups shredded chicken
• 1 large avocado
• Mayo (Maybe 3-4 T.)
  
• Green Onion
  
• Cilantro
• Lime Juice
  
• Salt & Pepper *light on the salt & extra pepper :)

DIRECTIONS:

1. Combine chicken, mayo (NO miracle whip), green onion, cilantro and salt & pepper. Just add it all to your liking.
2. Mash up the avocado with lime juice. Leave it a bit lumpy. :) I added maybe around 2-3 T. lime juice, but again just add it to taste.
   
3. Stir the avocado in with the chicken and make adjustments if needed.
   
4. Serve with tortilla chips.

*I used Chipotle Mayo. yum!
