We’re getting ready for the Fourth of July and boy, is it
HOT outside! A lot of neighbors I’ve spoken to don’t want to bake, use their stove tops, or even grill! I’m with them – up to a point.
We’re keeping our menu simple and as cool as possible.
The dessert on the menu is one I’ve been making for years – No-bake Key Lime Cream Cheese Pie – my son-in-law’s favorite!
Even though this recipe is not Armenian in any way, shape or form, I thought I’d pass it alongbecause it’s so darn good!
Wishing you all a Happy Fourth of July!!
