I have been married to a wonderful Christian man since 1976. The Lord has blessed us with two daughters and two sons. I consider each day the Lord gives me on the earth yet another chance to serve Him.

Mini Key Lime Pies

I like to make mini pies because it's easier to share with more people.  Creamy and delicious.  If you don't like whipped cream, just omit it.

Ingredients:
*1 1/2 cups finely crushed graham crackers
*1/3 cup granulated sugar
