Reduced Guilt Key Lime Pie

Five years ago, I dedicated an entire month to pies on my blog.
I made so many pies that month it's amazing I didn't gain tons of weight.
Please remember that all posts are from 2011, but here are five of my favorites:
Lemon Meringue Pie
Mini Pumpkin Pies
Dutch Apple Pie
Chocolate Cherry Pie
Turkey Pot Pie

With all the pies I made, it's amazing I never made a Key Lime Pie.
I changed that recently though and made one,
but decided to try to make it just a tad healthier!

The Goods:

Graham Crackers

Brown Sugar

Salt

White Chocolate Chips

Butter

Reduced Fat Greek Yogurt

Key Limes

Eggs

Fat-Free Sweetened Condensed Milk

Whipped Cream

Crush your graham crackers in a gallon bag using a rolling pin.

In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup graham cracker crumbs,

1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1/8 teaspoon salt and 1 ounce chopped white chocolate.

Add 2 tablespoons melted butter and toss until evenly moistened.

Press crumb mixture into greased pie pan and bake at 350 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes.

Cool completely on a wire rack.

While crust is cooling, in another medium bowl combine 1/2 greek yogurt, 

1/2 cup fresh key lime juice, 1/2 teaspoon key lime zest, 

3 large egg yolks and (1) 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk.

Pour mixture into crust and bake at 350 degrees for about 14 minutes.

Cool pie completely on wire rack. 

Chill at least 2 hours before cutting. 

And of course, serve with whipped cream!

Greek Chicken Burgers

A few months ago I saw this recipe on a blog I read.

I don't use ground chicken often, but it sounded so good!

I purchased everything I needed just a few days later,

and made these burgers two nights in a row!!!

I changed just a few things from the original recipe,

but they were just as delicious as I thought they'd be.

The Goods:

Hamburger Buns

Ground Chicken

Bread Crumbs

Egg

Cucumber

Red Onion

Lemon

Red Wine Vinegar

Plain Greek Yogurt

Feta (Not Pictured)

Fresh Dill

Parsley Flakes

Salt

Pepper

In a small bowl, combine the following:

1 cup Greek yogurt, juice and zest from 1/2 lemon,

2 teaspoons dried parsley, 1 to 3 teaspoons fresh chopped dill,

salt and pepper to your liking.

In a container with a lid, combine the following:

3/4 cup red wine vinegar, 1/4 of a red onion - thinly sliced,

1 to 2 teaspoons fresh dill - chopped.

Let sit at least 15 minutes, or up to a few days

In a large bowl, combine the following:

1 pound ground chicken, 1/4 red onion - diced, 

1/2 cup bread crumbs, 1 egg, zest from 1/2 a lemon, 

1 to 2 teaspoons fresh chopped dill, 1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes. 

Once mixed, divide into 6 portions and form into patties.

Spray grill and then cook fully.

Toast your buns on the grill too!

Add a little feta cheese and melt for a minute or so.

Spread yogurt mixture onto both buns, 

add thinly sliced cucumbers, 

chicken burger and the pickled onions.

It sadly doesn't look like anything too special...

But man oh man does it sure taste amazing!!!
