Key Lime

I did some baking over the weekend for Mr. Higgins' birthday. Though I got him a "real" gift, I wanted to shower him with sweets leading up to his big day.

After making him some chocolate cookies, I tried my hand at one of his favorites: Key Lime Pie. The recipe is from Cooking Light but it didn't taste low-fat to me, which is awesome. I managed to find key limes and actually squeezed almost two bags of them to make a half cup of juice. Whew! And Mr. Higgins liked it!

The baking was good for several reasons, not the least of which was getting more comfortable in my new kitchen. I'm learning the oven and everything's place...and how to control the cats while cooking/baking.... It's all a grand adventure! And also a tasty one!
