Good Afternoon! I’m excited to be a new contributor on The Best Blog Recipes. Starting today and continuing for the next few months, I’ll be sharing new recipes for both my readers and hers to try.
So for my first recipe, I knew I wanted it to be easy and refreshing, luckily my Sandra Lee bi-monthy magazine arrived and I was pretty excited – almost every recipe was made with lemons! I did a bit of tweaking, added some coconut and came up with this:
Please note you can truly make this a no-bake pie by buying a pre-made crust – a graham cracker one would also be perfect! (and doesn’t the above look like a pac-man!)
