Sweet Treats

Growing up in Georgia, I have enjoyed many of the traditionally southern treats. This past week I was thinking about some of my all time favorites: lemon meringue pie, banana pudding and sweet potato pie. Just outside Ft. Benning there is a great restaurant featuring some of the best southern fare around and if you save room for dessert you could try one of these sweet treats. The lemon meringue pie is jaw dropping just to look at and especially to try and eat. The pie is stacked high with meringue, filled with a creamy lemon center and finished with a crispy crust. Definitely the most amazing part of it though is the mile high meringue. I have never seen one stacked that high!

I decided to try to make my own lemon meringue pie this weekend. I achieved the crispy crust, creamy lemon center and pretty good meringue. It wasn’t stacked nearly as high, but all in all I think it was a success. I have to give my props to Country’s Bar B Que though. I hope you will stop by sometime soon, get cozy in a booth, sip some sweet tea, enjoy some great bar-b-que or chicken fingers, finish it off with a huge slice of lemon meringue pie and feel like a true southerner.
