Keeping It Simple All Day, Every Day

Key Lime Icebox Pie in a Jar

Today’s keeping it simple all day, everyday recipe is both yummy, quick, and kid-friendly. I love to make icebox pies in the Summer. The key lime icebox pie in a jar is an individual serving that your kids will love. Even your big kids in the house will love it. If you worry about a jar breaking, you could use plastic cups or jars if you like. These are so cute and easy; you are going to want to make these over and over.

From the heart!

On Sunday evenings, we would eat a quick supper before heading off to the Sunday night church service. Lunch was usually a pot roast with potatoes and carrots. She would cut up the roast and we would have sandwiches. On Sundays, mom would also fix a dessert. One of my favorites was the lemon icebox pie, especially in the Summer. Since I tried Key Lime pie, I am now hooked on the tart and sour flavors of cream cheese and lime mixed together. If you don’t have key lime juice, then no worries just use lime juice. Through this time at home due to the Covid-19, I am keeping it simple all day, every day. I pray that you are making memories with your family and making the best of the time that you have together because life is short.

Food for the soul!

“In the same sense, the tongue is a small part of the body, yet it boasts of great things.” James 3:5

James 3:5 shows us how something as simple as our words can cause some major problems. When we put ourselves down, it causes us to live with a negative mindset. Words can help us or hurt us. It is important to ask God to help us chose our words wisely. Blessings!
