It was one of those “pinch me” moments. Opening up my latest issue of Taste of the South Magazine and seeing my face staring right back at me wasn’t something that was ever on my radar, but there I sat. Looking at me.
What an amazing honor. They’ve had some amazingly talented people in their “Dishing with” feature so to be listed alongside those folks is pretty unbelievable to me. I am certainly not worthy.
Not only was my ugly mug in there, but this AMAZING recipe for Key Lime Pie was too and they so graciously accepted my request to be allowed to share it with y’all. They’re good people like that. 🙂
Y’all be sure to grab a copy and flip to inside the back cover to check out all my answers in the “Dishing with” feature. Can’t wait? Click here. 🙂
Now go make this pie. Seriously. It’s a bite of summer.

Key Lime Pie is so delicious! Our “key limes” just don’t taste the same out here in California though.

Hi Stacey. I’ve been meaning to post a comment on this recipe for a while now. Actually, a big THANK YOU! You posted this recipe shortly before my husband’s birthday and although key lime pie is his favorite, I’ve never attempted to make it. I’m not much of a baker, but I took one look at your recipe and I said I can totally do this. My son helped me and we surprised him for his birthday. And, he loved it so much that I’ve made it about once a month since then! Boy, is he happy about this! Thank you soooo much, Stacey!
Congratulations on being featured in the “Dishing with” column in Taste of the South magazine. I enjoyed reading it, and by the way, I think you look great!
Stacey says
What great news, Samantha! I’m so glad that you found it easy and were able to impress the birthday boy!

This recipe looks so good. If I can find good keylime or the juice I am going to make this and devour it. Used to have a tree from key West but I moved.
Love your recipes.
Stacey says
Good luck! That makes all the difference in the world. Thanks so much!

No worries!
A key lime pie is still good without key limes. I’ve done without them many times and used just the ordinary limes.
Stacey says
I agree! I’ll eat them all without any complaint! 🙂
