This week I had the pleasure of launching a month long business game for National Black Business Month. Twenty black owned businesses are participating. People simply patronize the business, upload the receipt to the games website and they are entered to win prizes. Easy peasy.

By the end of the month more people will know about these and other black businesses in the area.

As What's For Dessert is serving as the organizing business for this, I wanted until this month to share my newest dessert snack - Deanan's Popcorn.

With 7 unique and yummy flavors, this newest addition has made its way to the shelves of Theze Dealz in Dayton, Ohio.

The flavors are Vanilla, Dark Chocolate, White Chocolate, Salsa and Cheese, the Texas Two Step, Say Simple, Kettle Corn, and, of course, Carmel.

It is the newest addition to my line of dessert snacks which already feature OhMazing Granola and Kanda Chocolates.

Soon I'll have a website featuring all these yummy snacks. You will be able to buy directly from our website.

I'm just so excited to see people trying the new products and finding joy in eating them.

Now on to dessert.

Last night I went o to bed thinking about my mom's lemon cream pie. She made the best pie.

She would whip up her sweetened condensed milk with some lemon juice and pour it into a ready made graham cracker crust. She's let it set in the fridge for a few hours. Then she would make a meringue and smoothly spoon it over the pie.

She'd put it in the oven to brown the meringue and then boom! A lemon pie. So yummy.

I decided I'd make the pie for Sunday dinner today. As I did not know the exact recipe measurements from my moms pie, I looked for one that was pretty close.

With 80 - 5 Star ratings, the Pillsbury Lucious Lemon Cream Pie was a perfect fit.

All the ingredients was just like my moms except they added heavy whipping cream to the pie filling.

Before making the pie, I put on my mommy's bunny slippers. I wanted to feel her near me.

My mom is in the house (slippers that is)

Although the recipe called for a pre-made crust, I made my own. It's so easy and I enjoy eating the graham crackers.

I love graham cracker crusts.

Next I whipped up the filling. I always enjoy watching the whipping cream go from liquid to stiff peaks of creamy goodness. Once done, I poured the filling into the pre-baked crust and sat it in the refrigerator for several hours.

Love the creamy top

When I tell you this was so lemony, creamy and light, it was like heaven. I enjoyed every bite.

Being in the lemon mode I was, I made lemon pepper chicken for dinner with some braised greens and cabbage.

Dessert is served!

Sunday's meal was quite delightful. Another "slam bam thank you ma'am" meal in the record books.

We shall see what my mother inspires me to make next week.
