Summer Dessert Recipe: Strawberry Lemonade Pie and a No Kid Hungry Campaign

This Summer Dessert Recipe and No Kid Hungry post is sponsored by ACH Foods and Mom Central Consulting but all opinions expressed are my own. 

I have a serious weakness for sweets and almost every dinner is followed by some sort of dessert. My mom always used to say that ice cream made the perfect dessert because no matter how full you were, it just melted to fill in all the cracks. There is no such thing as being too full for dessert in my house! I try to tailor the desserts I make to what is on sale or in the pantry whenever I can. Right now, strawberries are in season in Florida and here in Georgia I am finding them at a really great price in the grocery store. This strawberry lemonade pie makes a great summer dessert recipe. It really called out to me because it uses a seasonal ingredients but also because the combination of sweet and tart flavors sounded really appealing.
