Lemon Meringue Pie
"I made this pie this weekend.This is the best Lemon Meringue Pie I have ever tasted that is made from scratch. I used Meyer lemons, the juice of a Meyer lemon is sweeter and less acidic then the juice of a regular lemon. A good old fashion Lemon pie!"

Hi! I love to laugh and enjoy having fun. I love meeting people with same interest in cooking as myself. I live in small town Saskatchwan. I'm married and have two adult children thirty and twenty eight. I like to cook and try new recipes. My favorite things to cook is yeast breads,cinnamon buns,yummy desserts and anything chicken. My weakness is collecting cookbooks and cooking magazines.I sit and read a cookbook like someone would read a novel in the evening. I even enjoy making treats for my granddog. The most fun about cooking is the sharing.?I love to share what I make!
