July 4th is around the corner and in celebration of independence day I will be sharing with you the two pies I am planning on making this Wednesday for this fun filled day. Since it's independence day it's all about american pride even though I am not american I am still celebrating because I live in the U.S.A. What a better way than to celebrate with a good ole american pie.

 
Doesn't that pie look delicious? Well I am proud to say that I will be making a key lime pie and a blueberry pie, in my house there can never be too many sweets. My mom is delighted because she loves desserts so much that I believe that her middle name should be dulce which means sweet in Spanish. Here is the recipie that I will be using for the blue berry pie.
