Happy St. Patricks's Day!

Here are my Key Lime bars for a bit o' green today. I hope y'all are enjoying this beautiful Spring day. No pinching please. Did anyone try these this yet? My crust was a little hard when cutting but tastes great. Even better with the coconut flavored whipped cream. It helps tone down all of the tartness.
Anyway....Have a Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Cookie Club Recipe #6

Are y'all ready for another scrumptious recipe this week? I can't wait to make this one. It is for Key lime bars, similar to the lemon bars but in my book so much better.
They aren't exactly a cookie but who cares? They taste amazing with all of their tangy sweet goodness. Enjoy every bite and hide a few for later. If you don't the little leprechaun's of the house will devour them.

♥Key Lime Bars♥

Crust:

1 cup plus 2 1/2 Tbs. graham cracker crumbs

1/3 cup sugar

5 Tbs. butter (melted)

Filling:

3 large egg yolks

1 1/2 tsp. grated lime zest

1 14oz. can sweetened condensed milk

2/3 cup KEY LIME JUICE

( GREEN food coloring if you want to be festive for St. Patrick's Day)

Garnish:

1 cup heavy whipping cream

1/4 sugar

2 tsp coconut flavoring (this makes the best flavor of homemade whipped topping)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Make crust: Stir together graham cracker crumbs, sugar and butter in a small bowl. Press evenly into the bottom of an 8 in square glass baking dish. Bake until dry and golden brown about 10 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack.

Make filling: Put egg yolks and lime zest in the bowl of electric mixer. Mix on high speed until very thick, about 5 minutes. Reduce speed to medium. Add condensed milk in a slow steady stream. Raise speed to high; mix until thick, about 3 minutes. Reduce speed to low. Add lime juice; mix until combined.

Spread filling evenly over crust using a spatula. Bake, rotating halfway through, until filling is just set, about 10 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack. Refrigerate at least 4 hours or over night.

Make the garnish: Cut bars into 2 inch squares. Pour cream into clean bowl of mixer with whisk attachment. Add sugar and flavoring. Mix on medium high speed until stiff peaks form. Garnish bars as you serve them with whipped topping and a lime slice.

Un-garnished bars can be stored in an airtight container in fridge for 3 days.

Breakfast Anyone?

Alright my Sweet Cookie's! Brace yourself for this post. It is very graphic and indulgent to say the least. You may want to guard the little people from seeing any of the photos. It could really cause some hyperactivity that can't be stopped. Are you ready?............................

Do you enjoy a good filling breakfast with Lot's of family atmosphere? I know I do! Well I have the perfect place for you to take your family and enjoy every BITE.

The Log Cabin Pancake House in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. Not to be confused with any other pancake house in the surrounding area. This establishment has been around longer than I have. They opened their doors in the 70's and have been going strong ever since.

I have been eating breakfast there for 23+ years and it is one of the places that I never leave town without getting my fix at.

Wanna see what I'm talking about? This is my all time favorite breakfast.

Continental French Toast, Country Ham, Grape Juice and Coffee.

Here are some of my family's favorite's too. You may need a napkin for the drooling you will experience.

Country Ham, Biscuits,Gravy and Hash brows. YummmmmmmmmY! Chocolate Chip Pancakes!
Ham and Cheese Omelet with Pancakes! And there is so much more like their pecan waffles that my Aunt Tam LOVE'S!

I can't say enough about The Log Cabin Pancake House. The waitresses there are all so sweet and have the best southern hospitality. Some have been there since the doors opened. I remember them all from when I was a child. It is so nice to see them each time I visit. Just like Family.

I talked with the Dining Manager, Yvonne King who has been there since the beginning. She quickly told me that you pronounce the Y in her name. So it would be more like this Y-vonne. She is always there and is usually the one seating the customers....100's of them. I had my picture made with her for my keepsake book and this blog. She is such a sweetheart.

If any of you take a trip to the Smokey Mountains I promise you won't be disappointed when you dine with my extended family at the Log Cabin Pancake House. You will be hooked and in love just like me. Oh yeah, you might want to know this. If you are coming into Pigeon Forge from Gatlinburg, it is the first Pancake house on the right. If you are headed towards Gatlinburg it will be the last pancake house on the left. There address is 4235 Parkway Pigeon Forge, Tn 37863.

I hope Y'all make a special trip and Enjoy!!!!
