Local momtrepreneur Jennifer Lyle, of Lush Yummies Pie Co. , has taken her family’s Lemon Butta Pie recipe on quite the journey. The recipe started in her grandfather’s kitchen, but Lyle took her version of the signature recipe first to a production kitchen in Detroit’s Easter Market, and then to her own brick-and-mortar bakery in downtown Ferndale.
