Hey, Friends!  This recipe has been posted here before, but I wanted to share it again now that the weather is turning warmer.  Spring is the perfect time for lemon, isn’t it? 🙂 enjoy!

Over the weekend, the kids requested a Lemon Pie….So, I pulled out my go-to Lemon Pie recipe (which, if you haven’t tried, is amazing!). As I was pulling out the ingredients, I realized that I had handed out all of my pie plates to neighbors and friends.  When something Lemon and delicious is calling your name, you improvise ….so we grabbed a glass square pan….and just followed the recipe with a few modifications and baked until the middle was set.  The result: a Lemon Dream was born.   🙂  The consistency and taste are a bit of Heaven and perfection all rolled into one.  Yes ma’am!
