Come on in.....
Come on in.....
I'd like you to have a seat at my table and share
LEMON PIE
with me.
YES....
I know, better than anyone, that we are ON A DIET here at SWEET NOTHINGS.
but...I promise not to serve YOU anything SUGAR FREE....
NO SIREE BOB....
The recipe for my Lemon pie is written in an OLDEN and very USED cookbook...
If I am remembering right, it actually came out of SOUTHERN LIVING.

When life gives you lemons, ask for the salt and tequila.
When life gives you lemons, suck out all the VITAMIN C
and yell, "take THAT, life."
When life gives you lemons,take them all and sell 'em on Ebay.
(gotta love THAT one)
(gotta love THAT one)
BUT THE BEST OF ALL....
MAKE LEMON PIE
...even if it's
SUGAR FREE.
I didn't have any
Sugar Free*Fat Free
LEMON Jello Pudding
but I DID have this
WHITE CHOCOLATE.
I just added lemon juice to this and
filled little tiny graham cracker crusts
and Mr. Sweet and I enjoyed our
LEMON PIE.
A dollop of sugar free Cool Whip...
.....sprinkled with a little bit of LEMON ZEST
and, O HONEY.....we were in LEMON HEAVEN.
OOO, and I forgot to say that I added a
teaspoon of Vanilla....
♫♪♪...a teaspoon of Vanilla makes the medicine go down...
NO, wait....
THAT'S SUGAR, isn't it. ?
:)
So, WHEN you come see me and you want
Lemon Pie,
I will make one......JUST FOR YOU.
AND, if you decide you'd rather have MY little fat-free treat...
I'll make ya one of those, too, 'cause, ya'll,
these are just flat DELICIOUS.
XOXO bj
these are just flat DELICIOUS.

Have you tried the fat free Redi Whip cans? My husband loves it. I don't think it holds up as long as the regular, but it is better than none...
Beautiful! I'd take either one, but especially the sugar free! Maybe 2 of 'em!
Your pictures and your home are lovely.
Hi, bj. Lemon desserts are one of my alltime favorites! And this one looks delicious.
Hi Bj!

Looks good - I'm enjoying your take on all of the diet cooking you have been doing lately!! Sally
The pictures are simply beautiful! Pretty PRETTY pie!!
Louis Dean bought a sack of lemons when he made a run at Sam's today. While I won't be making lemon pie I DO love lemon slices in my tea and the fragrance of lemon in the kitchen!
I'll wait for the pie for when I visit YOU!!
Hi BJ: That looks delicious. I think the Jello sugar free pudding in lemon and chocolate are really good. My tastebuds are fooled! Mostly, I love your photos. They are so soft and I feel they are in a story book. What's your secret?..Happy Monday..Judy
Oh, I have to try this! We all need a little less sugar! And it looks SO good! Love seeing glimpses of your kitchen and dining room,! So pretty!
XO,
Jane
Hi BJ, I have a piece of lemon pie with hot or cold tea please. I really enjoyed your post tonight. The pie would work at our house. I use a lot of sugar free with hubby being a diabetic. Have a wonderful day. Your Missouri Friend.
Those are so cute. I love lemon anything.
I'm lovin' your lemon pie! So the whites don't get beaten to peaks, just mixed with rest and poured over? Fun idea:@)
You really are coming up with some innovative diet treats. It sounds delicious!

Hope you had a wonderful Monday- xo Diana
The sugar version of that pie is what Mister chooses for his birthday each year, rather than cake. That is good stuff, and I love it cause it's quick to fix!
