Yoder's Peanut Butter Pie

If you are ever in Sarasota, you simply MUST stop by Yoder's. It is simply amazing. Its a little restaurant set in the middle of the Omish community and the food is to die for. My grandfather found this little gem and took me out for breakfast. I am not a breakfast person, but I could eat there every day.

Well, my friend Lesley, over at The Bright Life posted this recipe. Thank you, is all I have to say to her.

I WILL be baking this pie this week. I may end up making more than one. And, I am VERY thankful to have had my gallbladder removed last week so that I can enjoy this!!!
