Summer is officially here! That means soon there will be all kinds of fresh berries available! Yippee! I'm really more of an autumn girl - actually, around the end of May I start looking forward to sweaters, colorful leaves, hearty soups and the smell of new school supplies. It's a sickness. Add it to the… Continue reading Rustic Raspberry Lemon Cheesecake Tart

Oatmeal Lemon Creme Bars
I love all things lemon. I always have lemony recipes hanging around to try. My plan for this week was to immerse myself in all things yellow happiness fruit baking related. When I went to make two lemon desserts today I found half my lemons had vanished. They were in the fruit basket two days… Continue reading Oatmeal Lemon Creme Bars
Chicken Piccata
Chicken piccata always ends up being my second choice when it is on the menu at a restaurant. I have good intentions, but just never end up ordering it. Something about capers I think. They are one of those foods that I feel like I'm supposed to like, but have never really fully joined the… Continue reading Chicken Piccata
Happy National Cheesecake Day
Did you hear? It's today! Whoever thought up such a holiday should be sainted. What a brilliant idea. I absolutely adore cheesecake. I usually reserve it for very special occasions because I cannot resist it. Can NOT. I'll eat enough to make myself totally sick. It's just too delicious. Maybe you don't have the cheesecake… Continue reading Happy National Cheesecake Day
White Chocolate Lemon Truffles
Seattle Chocolates used to make an incredible white chocolate orange truffle. They had a gold wrapper with a creamy white chocolate truffle inside. When I was a teenager who didn't have to worry about things like love handles, cellulite and flab, I would eat them by the handful. My first job was at a Hallmark… Continue reading White Chocolate Lemon Truffles

Oh joy! Rapture! It's finally here. The day I can purchase hard alcohol from a supermarket. More specifically, from Costco. To celebrate, I went out and purchased a large bottle of gin. It's the base for many of my husband's favorite drinks. Including this one. There's some debate on whether I should call this a… Continue reading Tom Collins
Double Glazed Lemon Blueberry Pound Cake
I simply adore the bright fresh flavor of lemon. It just makes for happy food. I'm not really sure what the right label for this treat is. It's too sweet to be a bread, too light to be a true pound cake and too bread-like to be a cake. It's fabulous, whatever it is. Filled… Continue reading Double Glazed Lemon Blueberry Pound Cake
Lemon Monkey Bread
Every monkey bread recipe I've ever seen is made with butter and brown sugar resulting in a caramel covered pull apart bread. This recipe intrigued me because of its main ingredient. Lemon. Lemon? Yes indeed. It is a bright fresh citrus bread drizzled with butter, lemony sugar and a sweet glaze. Lemon is so vibrant… Continue reading Lemon Monkey Bread
Shortbread Tarts
These delectable morsels are perfect for just about any occasion. Elegant enough for a bridal or baby shower and bite sized for an appetizer heavy party. You can make large quantities of them easily and highlight any of the best fruits of whatever season you're in. I went with raspberries because I don't think there's… Continue reading Shortbread Tarts
Drizzled English Lemon Pound Cake
Usually I am not a fan of cakes that start with a box. I'm no Sandra Lee. That said, I wanted to do a trial run of a cake for our church's newest addition. He says back in the home country (England) they have a lemon pound cake thing that has drizzles of lemon running… Continue reading Drizzled English Lemon Pound Cake
