Key Lime Pie Squares

One would be hard pressed not to understand the magnitude of the terrible situation due to Hurricane Irma.
This is unreal.
My hubby is glued to the TV. The weather junkie that he is keeps him going for marathon viewing sessions.
It's so hard to wrap one's mind around what is happening.
Such destruction.
Mass evacuations.

I applaud all the first responders and volunteers who are heading into the disaster instead of fleeing from it. There was just a snippet on the news about how so many states are sending out electrical workers etc to help the local companies get things done when it is safe to do so.

Everyone knows someone affected by Irma.
Keeping everyone in my thoughts.










Ingredients:
Crust
2 Cups Gingersnap cookies (finely crushed)
3 Tbsp butter (melted)

  2. I am praying for everyone's loved ones, along with my own that live down in Florida. This recipe reminded me of my mom. We went to Key Largo to have Key Lime Pie. I am so thankful I was able to take her there.
