Key Lime Pie

Piggy In Paradise is named accordingly for 2 reasons. 1: Because my goal is that you take a bite of each meal feeling as if you're in foodie paradise. And 2: Because I am am a self proclaimed piggy and I live in my opinion of paradise in the Florida Keys. One thing we're famous for here is our Key Lime Pies. Though it has become something of a typical tourist menu food, for us its authenticity and reminder of home never gets old. Using fresh Key Lime juice is essential. We love going to our neighbors house to pick them off our neighbors tree and have just started growing our own. We can't wait to harvest the first Key Limes from it to make more of this delicious stuff.
