It’s time to bring out rhubarb recipes. Our family favorite is rhubarb strawberry crisp, you can get the recipe for it here and here. These fresh picked rhubarb {above} from the garden will be used in a recipe to make rhubarb simple syrup and delicious compote.
Hello Spring!
With the arrival of spring there is a new sense of beauty emerging. Fruit trees are blossoming and flowers are starting to come up. On a recent trip to a gardening and nursery center, the sense of spring was in the air as I walked down the aisles filled with flowers, herbs, vegetables and other pretty plants. After a bit of time I was able to pick a nice selection to take home to be used to make flower arrangements for Easter. Moss, lichen and hard broiled eggs were also a part of the arrangement filling in the empty spaces between the plants. I like the organic feel of the display {above pic} and how it brought a little touch of spring inside the house.

The combination of sweet and tart flavors are brought together in this simple Lemon Mousse recipe. It’s a refreshing and light dessert to accompany a meal whether it be formal or casual. With the arrival of spring and the Easter holiday, this will be a wonderful addition to serve as part of an afternoon Easter brunch or other occasion. The desert can be made a day ahead or at least an hour before serving.

It’s time to bring the sweet things in life out for Valentine’s Day. To celebrate this lovely occasion, but not wanting to do too much, I decided to assemble some of our favorite treats together for all to enjoy.
