Happy Thanksgiving lovelies! I hope you have a wonderful turkey day. Now if you woke up this morning upset because you're not sure what to bring to your dinner, then look no further. This easy to make lemon meringue pie is a winner every time. For me there's something about a refreshing slice of lemon meringue pie. I love the tart and sweet combination. And please do not forget to add the graham pie crust. It seems to compliment the pie just right!

Thanks for sharing this. Ironically, I was craving Lemon Meringue just the other day. On Thanksgiving I baked peacan pie and am trying to stay away from the fridge where it's hiding. I sure wish I had my metabolism of yesteryear. I used to eat non-stop and keep a very slendar body. My how the years do catch up with us . . .
