Raspberry Lemon Cream Tarts

As you can tell I am into lemon right now!  I love lemon bars, lemon pie, lemon muffins, lemon chicken, lemon pancakes and anything else you can make with lemons.  I came across this recipe and with all my raspberries right now, I had to try it.  I was not disappointed and neither were the people I dropped these off to.  Great for picnics, potluck or even a late night mommy treat, why not we deserve it!  Enjoy.

P.S. I used my Easy Cream Cheese Pie Crust recipe I posted a few weeks back for the crust.  Another change was I used my mini muffin pans to make min tarts, but Lauren used full size so use whatever makes you happy!

3 whole Egg Yolks
2 Tablespoons Lemon Zest
½ cups Fresh Lemon Juice

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Using a glass or round cookie cutter, cut chilled pie crust into 2-3 inch circles and place into muffin tins to form tart shells. Refrigerate.

In small bowl, mix sweetened condensed milk, egg yolks, lemon zest and lemon juice together until evenly combined. Spoon evenly between tart shells and bake 10-15 minutes (8-10 minutes for mini tarts)or until filling is set and crust is cooked.

Cool tarts to room temperature, then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until completely chilled (at least 2 hours.)

Before serving, whip cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form. Pipe a skinny boarder around the edges of every tart. Fill with fresh raspberries. Pipe more cream over top berries to cover. Garnish with more fresh raspberries. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps

I am always looking for fast, easy and nutritious meals for my busy weeknight meals.  These wraps have become one of our family favorites.  We serve these with a side of wontons or potstickers to complete the meal. The filling can be made ahead of time and reheated if your day is extra busy. Bibb lettuce is our favorite, but feel free to use iceberg or even romaine for this dish. I hope you enjoy these as much as we do!

Chicken Salad Sandwiches with Fruit and Almonds

Chicken salad sandwiches seem to be the go to item for baby and bridal showers.  I wanted to make some for the baby shower, but had a dillema.   While I like the main components in the salad, I really do not like the taste of raw onions and celery.  However, I still wanted some crunch and flavor in the salad.

Best Ever Chocolate Chip Cookies

The name says it all. These cookies are my (and my husband's) favorite cookies! Not just your average chocolate chip cookies, these babies come out of the oven with a slightly crisp outside while still remaining soft on the inside. Use Ghiradelli Milk Chocolate Chips and you will have achieved chocolate chip cookie perfection!
