Grandma's Lemon Meringue Pie
This was so easy to make but it was soooo good! My dad loves lemon meringue pie so I made this for Easter. I was a bit worried it wouldn't have enough lemon flavor with the small amount of juice I got from the two lemons but it was just right. I always put the bowl and whisk attachment to my Kitchenaid in the freezer until I'm ready to make my meringue which helps whip it up fast. Thanks for a quick, easy recipe!

Classic Waffles
I whipped my egg whites separately, but other than that I followed the recipe exactly. I've made this recipe a few times now and have even added chocolate chips and blueberries to the batter. The waffles come out great each time and my family gobbles them up. I've frozen leftovers and they reheat perfectly.

Pumpkin Loaf
I made this just as written except I used butter and added more cinnamon and a 1/4 tsp nutmeg and it came out great! I took it to work and everyone loved it. It was super moist and very tasty. I'm making more for family this weekend. Thanks for a great recipe!
