Honest, this pie couldn't be simpler. Pretty in pink and  ya'll it is flavored with kool-aid.  Before you turn up your nose, remember, summertime fun doesn't have to be extravagant–it's supposed to be about slowing and being more present, right? In fact, this is the perfect pie to make with kiddos, let them choose the flavor!

Keep the ingredients to make this pie on had for a last minute picnic or pitch-in dinner for a no sweat, stress free dessert you can whip up in a jiffy.  Just what the end of summer calls for…enjoy!

{Week 31} Strawberry Lemonade Kool-Aid Pie

• 1 graham cracker crust or shortbread crust (homemade or store bought)
• 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk

In a bowl mix together sweetened condensed milk and kool-aid packet. Fold in Cool Whip. Pour into graham cracker crust. Place in fridge for 4 hours or in freezer until set and ready to serve. Garnish with fruit and whipped cream to be extra fancy!
