Wednesdays Unplugged – Lemonade Icebox Pie

“I think, at a child’s birth, if a mother could ask a fairy godmother to endow it with the most useful gift, that gift should be curiosity.” ~ Eleanor Roosevelt

NOTE: I spend my Wednesdays Unplugged from appointments. It’s my day to stay home, enjoy cooking and welcome our kids and grandkids for dinner in the evening. We end our meal with quotes from the Norwegian ‘Quote Cup’ passed on to me from my grandmother. I share a quote and a recipe here each week, along with an update and photos of what has been going on in our lives. I love trying new recipes…and love getting recipes you would like to share!

We are now into summer birthday season. Our youngest granddaughter and oldest grandson were both born on the 22nd of July, 5 years apart. They get to choose the menu on their birthday week so Sina got this week and Khalen gets next week. It was also our first meal together inside since the pandemic shut-down in March 2020… time for celebration!

RECIPE OF THE WEEK

Without flinching, Sina picked Lemonade Icebox Pie for her birthday dessert. I haven’t posted the recipe since 2017 so I thought it was time I could share it again! It is from Taste of Home, served to us by Carolyn Hensrud when we visited them in Palm Springs.
