Lemon Tart

remove 1This lemon tart all decked out in red, white, and blue would be perfect for the upcoming Memorial Day Weekend and other summer barbecues and picnics. I don’t know about you, but I always find lemon desserts so refreshing. Even if the dessert has 100 million calories in it, the lemon makes it seem light and somehow healthy even. Lemon is a fruit; fruit is good for you, so lemon tart is good for you too, right?

Right.

Actually, it is DELICIOUS for you!

Classic Peanut Butter Cookies

insideMany years ago my boyfriend suggested that I make some peanut butter cookies. I love peanut butter, but I have never loved peanut butter cookies. They always seem kind of dry and hard and don’t really taste like peanut butter to me. I tried a recipe that looked promising and that had good reviews.

It was apparently not the one.

Terry’s response after tasting one was, “You should get my mom’s recipe.”

Ganache-Filled Chocolate Cupcakes

Cupcakes for preschool graduation. With sprinkles, of course.

Oy. It’s been a busy week around here, and I am sorry I haven’t been able to keep up with my regular posting schedule. The end of the school year will do that. Will you forgive me if I give you a ganache-filled chocolate cupcake? With sprinkles?

These cupcakes have garnered rave reviews. They have an intense chocolate flavor (not sweet like milk chocolate) with silky smooth frosting on top and a little surprise of ganache inside. Chocolate lovers will rejoice.

I do, especially this time of year when the berries are so big and beautiful and juicy and sweet. The price is right this time of year too.
