Sour Cream-Lemon Pie Recipe

100% would make again

I first tasted this pie at a local restaurant and hunted around until I found a similar recipe—now it's my husband's favorite. I'm a registered nurse, but I haven't worked since I had my first child 13 years ago. Right now, cooking for my husband and our six children is my first priority when I'm not helping with chores on our dairy farm. I enjoy canning and cooking, and even like cooking outdoors when we go camping or backpacking.
