Thanksgiving is tomorrow and I wanted to include a great pie recipe. On the first Thanksgiving I shared with my husband, he shared a shocking revelation. He doesn't like ANY traditional Thanksgiving pie. Pumpkin, pecan, or chocolate! He doesn't like any of them. I asked what pie he would like and he responded "Key Lime Pie". Nothing says warm and cozy quite like key lime pie...apparently. It became our family joke. This is how the traditional Thanksgiving Key Lime Pie was born.
