Lemon Chess Pie

By

Base Recipe from Christy Jordan at Southern Plate. I have always loved my "Lemon Chess Pie". I looked at Christy Jordan's recipe and thought it would be good as well. I shouldn't have tried her recipe because I like hers better than mine. Therefore, I thought I would share it with you and let you be the judge.
