Oh So Goood!


I grew up in sunny San Diego and to this 
day feel lucky that I did, I loved it! 
I have many wonderful childhood memories and the 
ones that I treasure the most include the time
 I spent with my grandpa and grandma.
That often meant being around the kitchen table listening to
 grandpa's stories and enjoying grandma's amazing cooking.
My grandma could make anything taste great, she was a wonderful 
cook but it was her pies that were heaven on a plate.
 One of my favorites was her lemon meringue
   made with fresh California lemons,  to die for I must say!!!
These past few weeks I have been wanting to go back to San Diego 
and get my "California Fix" and have been craving lemon everything! 
I do not usually make lemon pies because I am the only one in my
 family that really loves it and trust me if I make a whole pie 
I would eat it! (It's a close second to the drumstick!)
So when I stumbled upon this easy recipe for mini pies I had to try it. 
OH MY OH MY WHAT A YUMMY PIE!!
Even Joe, who has not eaten lemon ANYTHING in over 
13 years (a story for another day:)
 He loved it and asked if I would make them again.
 SUCCESS! 
Look at that meringue, my granny would be so proud:)
