i love all things with fruit and butter and sugar – crisps, tarts, pies, cobbler – you name it, and i’ll bet that i love it!
as promised in an earlier post, i’m sharing another delicious lemon recipe! lemon bars hold a special place in my heart – i can remember picking them out from behind beautiful glass bakery cases when i was a kid, after swimming lessons (or maybe after ballet lessons? i’m not entirely sure – eating at yummy bakery memories blend for me – it was a rough childhood, i know). while i tend to favor chocolate desserts, and just plain old chocolate in general, lemon bars are one of the few exceptions i make to my chocoholic nature.
i hope you all had a wonderful holiday! we spent ours with our lovely families, consuming lots of good food!!
way back in october, while answering the door for trick or treaters, i had a conversation with nancy about a cooking demonstration she watched online (via cook’s illustrated) in which she learned several tips for making perfect peanut butter cookies. during the course of our chat, i realized that i have never made peanut butter cookies. this may not sound like a big deal, but they are mike’s favorite cookie in the whole world, and peanut butter is one of my all time favorite foods. so how is it possible i’ve never made them?
