Key Lime Pie: A Slice of Heaven

Ahhh! Nothing says summer to me like key lime pie. It truly is a little piece of heaven every time I bite into this delectible little treat. I love the look, the taste, and the memories that go along with key lime pie. But onto why I am currently obsessing over key lime pie! Each summer Chicago has an Air and Water Show that is absolutely amazing -- I really am stunned every summer at the beauty of the planes tearing through the sky. The Air and Water Show gives my parents a reason to throw a party in our condo each summer, full of friends, family, and good food and drinks. It also gives my mom and I a reason to make a key lime pie. I love the process of making the pie because the end product really is a design. The crust, the tart, and the whipped cream and lime slices on top all go together to make a really delicious, and not bad looking, pie. Just look at the picture above, a slice of key lime pie is truly a piece of art. The whipped cream and lime, in my opinion, really make the pie look beautiful. Okay, enough talk about pie! My mouth is watering for just a bite of the ever so delicious pie that is key lime... yum!
