This gets very high marks for flavor. It is a very good combination of sweet and tart. The crust has a very nice flavor of it's own. It get's only 4 stars because the recipe doesn't say which ingredients are used in the crust and I had to check off those ingredients listed later in the instructions for the cream layer and the top/lemon layer to discover which were supposed to be used in the crust. I also felt that it didn't have a good presentation for color. The yellow lemon topping seemed a little too light in color and might be improved by adding some powdered sugar lightly on the top.

I love to cook. I also love to garden, both vegetables and flowers are my passion. I enjoy the great out doors, also, looking for new and interesting recipes to make for my family. Baking in the cooler fall and winter months fills the home with such wonderful aromas, plus living in the Great Lakes State, sometimes you do not see the sun for weeks. So filling the home with inviting aromas with fresh baked breads, cakes, cookies or hearty stews and soups is a must to lift the spirits! Canning is another one of my passions. I love the taste of "Good " home canned produce, expecially when it comes out of my garden! The produce truly is a gift From God, and I am very thankful for it!
Hobbies: I live on a mini farm, raising Chickens and turkeys. I also have 5 German Shorthaired Pointer dogs that take up a lot of my time. I also enjoy playing cards and get togethes with family and friends.
Health: I'm always looking and researching on what things makes us healthy. I really enjoying researching on line different new products for good health. Somethings I order, just don't pan out, while other, have really helped my health improve. I always try to go the natural way. I would love to some day buy all organic cotton bedding, cloths, but that can be very expensive.
