Key Lime Pie

I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter!  Can you believe it is almost May?!?  It's hard to believe that in just 19 short days I will be graduating from pharmacy school!  Since I will be moving back to California right after graduation to prepare for my residency that starts in July, I took advantage of Easter weekend to explore the one place I had yet to visit in Oregon, Crater Lake.  Thankfully my co-workers recommended some places for me to stop and site see along the way to Crater Lake because unfortunately, by the time my fiance and I got to Crater Lake we found ourselves in the midst of a little unexpected snow storm.  Both of us were not dressed for the snow and we could barely see across Crater Lake.

Since my fiance came to visit for Easter, I didn't have to think twice about what I was going to make for dessert.  He loves key lime pie and always asks me to make my key lime cheesecake bars, so I decided to try my hand at making my very first key lime pie.  I have to say it turned out pretty darn well and was nice and refreshing after our Easter dinner.

Chocolate Dipped Amaretto Cake Bars

In case you haven't realized, Easter is less than a week away!  It's time to dye some eggs, eat some carrot cake, and make egg salad out of all those Easter eggs.  Whether you are celebrating Easter at home with family or having a party, I am almost 100% certain you will consume some form of carrot cake on Easter, maybe you will even make these carrot cake cupcakes!  Another Easter staple is all that candy found in Easter eggs.  If you are like me and over the age of 21, you may appreciate these super delicious alcohol infused cake like candies, and might actually prefer them over your typical Easter candy.  If you are headed to an Easter party next Sunday or are just going to hang around the house with family, these little bars are the perfect little candy to share with anyone celebrating Easter with you.
