My sister and niece recently came to visit me from the east coast and we had so much fun! My sister loves key lime pie so I decided to make her a key lime cheesecake during her visit. This recipe is a mixture of some of my favorite recipes and it came together beautifully. Even thought the visit was much shorter than I would have liked, we managed to squeeze in some fun activities. I think the highlight of the visit was watching my extremely patient husband try to teach 2 adults and 3 children how to ski in less than an hour! Excuse the not so great picture of this delicious cheesecake, it was a miracle that there was one last slice left! There are few things I enjoy more than hanging out in my kitchen cooking and baking while my family creates long lasting memories around my kitchen island, I hope you enjoy this recipe as it will always remind me of that wonderful weekend.

| My plan was to sit in the lodge sipping hot cocoa and enjoying the view with the warmth of a fire place crackling beside me, but I ended up on the slopes helping my husband keep the girls from having a meltdown. Apparently they thought that you just get on the lift and magically start skiing perfectly with no practice! |
