It’s Monday again and I’m actually ok with that.
Usually I hate it when the week-end is over, but not today, I couldn’t be happier or more relieved.
You see, I had to make 500 mini cupcakes for a wedding this past weekend and it was exhausting. I am a little sad though, because all that hard work and I didn’t even think to take a picture of any of them . . . all that time and effort and nothing to show for it —duh, what was I thinking.
Today’s recipe is NOT a cupcake recipe because frankly, I am a little sick of cupcakes right now so instead I’ll share this yummy key lime pie recipe with you. I absolutely love key lime pie. It is so simple to make and always tastes so refreshing. This is a great recipe, it’s smooth, creamy, a little tart and not too sweet. It’s absolutely delicious!
