Kiwi Lime Pie

I'm back from an amazing experience at the National Pie Championships & Great American Pie Festival in Orlando, Florida. I did not place this year, but I competed and did my best. Thanks to everyone for your support—I'll need it again next year. If you haven't already seen, the Brown Sugar Cinnamon Apple Pie won Pie of the Week April 15th – 21. As for the last week of April, I'm declaring my Apple Champango Pie is the winner. Now is the time to vote for the Pie of the Month. Choose any of the Pie of the Week winners from April and vote for your favorite. The winner will be featured as the new background for PieADay.com

I wanted to try making a kiwi pie so I serached these interwebs and came across a kiwi lime pie. I'm not happy with the way this pie came out, but I promise a better kiwi pie in the future. I followed the recipe as best as I understood it, but I should have followed my gut and skipped the food coloring. Either way I made the pie and here it is.
