Ok as it is, I have no “extra” time! But, when this idea was passed on to me from my friend Jenn at Klean I new I had to make time! I have only done this for two days and it has already been a stress reliever. I find myself going to bed at night thinking of things I can do or give anonomously as it makes me feel so much better.
I think by the end of this whole 29 day ordeal I am going to sign up again! Or maybe I wont have to sign up, maybe by then I will just give freely and daily without even having to think about it…….

These are Just like Applebee’s Key Lime Pie Dessert Shooters. I also made a Raspberry Cheesecake version but the cheescake part was a little lumpy so I will have to perfect that one before posting it! These are great for a small summer treat after a dinner, we made ours for a Fathers Day BBQ. There light and not to filling so that are perfect when you want just a little bit of a sweet treat after dinner.
