Key Lime Pie
You will need:
9" graham cracker pie crust
14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk
6 oz. non-dairy topping (ie: Cool Whip)
1/2 cup lime juice
Mix condensed milk with non-dairy topping at medium speed until blended. Add lime juice to mixture and blend well. Pour into graham cracker pie crust. Refrigerate at least 3 hours before serving. Top with whipped cream. :D

This sounds delicious! Is it legal to make something so rich and easy? My eyes are opened. I am enlightened.

DId you also call lunch "dinner" and dinner "supper" when you were growing up? We did! And like you, I grew up on cornbread! Mom also made lots and lots of fry bread, which is a Lakota Sioux recipe. Maybe I'll post a fry bread recipe here sometime soon! It's good!! :D

Same thing on the meals---there was no "lunch". LOL I grew up in Missouri, but it was in the southeast corner of the BOOTHEEL, so just 1/2 mile from Arkansas. I could ride my bicycle to Arkansas in minutes. Our daily cornbread was usually accompanied by beans---Great Northern beans---sometimes white and sometimes brown. My doctor said that I had about the LOWest cholesterol he'd ever seen---I credited the beans. LOL Did your folks raise a garden? We had to have a garden every year too. Looking forward to the fry bread recipe. My granny made the best "chocolate gravy"--no recipe, tho. She just made it.

Clarissa, it should be illegal because it's so good! I was taught this recipe when I lived in South Florida. I use several variations of it though, but this is one of the easiest I think. It's one of the best too! Key Lime Pie is VERY good during the summer, when it is so hot and muggy outside, but it's also good any time of the year. I'll normally make two or threee of them at a time, because my room mate loves them, and so does Alex when he's here visiting me. :D

Oh Lord Yes!!! Dad had a garden. He grew tomatoes, carrots, butter beans, spinach, snap beans, turnips, and about 7 kinds of lettuce!! He loved his garden, but he gave most of what he grew away to friends and neighbors. He had to plow his garden under several years ago because he isn't in any shape to take care of a garden that big anymore. :'(
But he sure did enjoy his garden for many years and we had more vegetables (and fruit too) than we knew what to do with! :D

Mom and Dad accidentally grew a winter carrot once. In January I think. Ewww, it was terrible. :P
They yanked it out of the ground and brought it in and COOKED it!!! It had the consistency of rubber and it squirted out a terrible tasting juice when we tried to eat it. I damn near got sick right where I sat. :laugh:
Whew! Lord! I'll never forget that awful tasting winter carrot as long as I live! :P :P
