Key Lime Pie Challenge

Okay, friend…

While visiting the Florida Keys with my sister in law and niece, we decided to launch an entirely unofficial—but deeply committed—Key Lime Pie Challenge. Talk about FUN! We made vacation enjoyable for ALL of you.

Let's just say ... we took one (or many!) for the team. 😂

Our mission?
To test Key Lime Pie across the Keys (mainly Marathon) and rank them based on several categories. 

As a person who can't have gluten, Jenn and Addison did most of the ranking. But I have also added a gluten-free division because the gluten-free people deserve joy too- but so far we have only found 1 gluten free option. 😂

But honestly? I am having just as much fun documenting their experiences. I highly recommend you try this yourself when you take your next vacation/staycation. 

 

Three Girls. Four Days. Seven Pies.😂
