Key Lime Pie – Adkins Thanksgiving Special

Key Lime Pie
Jump to Recipe

Thanksgiving is a special time in America. Each family has their own recipes that they use to celebrate. Each generation does something to make it their own, knowing that the next generation will do the same thing. For me, this was adding Key Lime Pie.

Pecan Pie is entirely too sweet for my taste, even though the rest of my family seems to love it. Also, I know that Pumpkin Pie isn’t everyones cup of tea. The solution was to make my favorite pie from my time in American. Therefore, we added Key Lime Pie to our dessert table.

As important as traditions are for Thanksgiving it was more important for us to make it our own. Since we are in Germany we wanted to include things that taught our kids about their heritage and things that remind me of my time in America.

The first time we did this I just made one small Key Lime Pie and it was gone in no time. Since then we have done a little more each year until we ended up with this recipe. We celebrate with about 100 people, so if you are a smaller group you might want to cut the recipe in half. You might even want to go smaller than that.

As always, let me know what you think of the recipe. To do that you can either rate it, leave a comment, or do both! I really appreciate the feedback and can’t wait to hear from you!

Enjoy!

Key Lime Pie

Although this isn't a typical Thanksgiving dessert, it is something that we do for those who don't have anything else. The fact that it is my favorite pie also might have played a hand in that decision!

Vegan Banana Cookies
Jump to Recipe

Everyone knows you shouldn’t waste food. Bananas, however, have a tendency to go bad over night. Once they start getting mushy, however, you can try out this great Vegan Banana Cookies recipe to get rid of them.

Don’t tell my kids, but these aren’t too terribly unhealthy. They actually liked them! The banana adds some sweetness without requiring sugar to make them kid friendly. Also, they are done in a hurry so they are a treat for mom too! Grab a fork, grab some bananas, and grab the other couple of things that are needed. Couple of minutes of mixing, a bit longer in the oven, and you are ready to go!

We don’t always eat Vegan. We also don’t always eat healthy. Once in a while, however, we try to do something good for ourselves. We also want to be a good example for the kids. These Vegan Banana Cookies make those times almost bearable. To be perfectly honest, we also make these when we aren’t doing any special diet.

As always, let me know what you think of the recipe. To do that you can either rate it, leave a comment, or do both! I really appreciate the feedback and can’t wait to hear from you!

Enjoy!
