Glitter in my Kitchen: Lemon Cream Pie Day

I'm pretty jazzed to find out today is Lemon Cream Pie Day...I super love the lemon pie at Bob Evans. There's whipped cream, lemon filling and a little lemon candy on top. It's just the best...and now I'm wondering if they have lemon pie in the fall...hmmmm.

Here's the history of National Lemon Cream Pie Day from NationalDay.com

"Food historians believe lemon desserts have been around since the Middle Ages! Whipped cream, on the other hand, is a relative newcomer: it didn’t show up until the 16th century. It first appeared in recipes in Italy in the mid 1500s and then traveled to France and showed up in recipes there just after 1600. Somewhere between then and now, someone had the brilliant idea to marry them together in a way that’s basically sunshine baked into a pie dish.

Here's a lemon cream pie recipe if you're a baker. I like baking way more than cooking and this seems doable...but it's a little involved. I like this recipe better, and you don't really have to be a baker to attempt this one.

I'm a pretty big fan of lemon, but I know some people aren't...so I'm going to throw in a recipe link for a chocolate cream pie. Shhh! I'd probably pick chocolate over lemon :)

If you only want to craft to celebrate National Lemon Cream Pie Day, here ya go. This is $1.50 digi image from JW Illustrations, it's colored here as pumpkin pie, but I think you could make it lemon.
