I am certainly having trouble getting back into the swing of things post vacation, post cold, etc… This week’s baking assignment for Tuesdays with Dorie called for rhubarb which I was unable to find, we went to three grocery stores. I ended up just using sliced strawberries. We actually thought this cake was pretty plain…

Strawberry Tart
This tart is supposed to have a bottom layer of poached rhubarb but after going to three grocery stores I ended up empty handed, so strawberry tart it is. This was a lovely summer dessert with strawberry flavor throughout. The strawberries I purchased were quite large so I only needed a few to cover the…
Mostly Rhubarb Tart
I knocked this out for our Sunday dinner. I was lucky and found rhubarb at Smart and Final but like Kim it was not in the greatest condition no matter it was being cooked anyway. We have made several rhubarb desserts over the years but so far our favorite remains Rhubarb Upside Down Brown Sugar…
Sablé Breton Galette with Berries
I have made sablés (cookie) and I have made galettes (pie) but I have not made a sablé galette. I made the galette dough and the lemon curd the day before and chilled it overnight so all I had to do was bake and assemble the next day. I rolled out the galette dough into…

Since strawberries and tomatoes are in season it was the perfect salad. We all had commented that we had never put strawberries and tomatoes together before but it worked. We enjoyed this…

Strawberry Tarts
Monthly Featured Ingredient – Berries I Heart Cooking Clubs I have wanted to make these strawberry tarts ever since I received a copy of Barefoot in Paris. I made these for our Mother’s Day brunch and they lived up to all my expectations. I decided to make the crust from a tried and true recipe,…
Strawberry Shortcake Cookies
Tuesdays with Dorie Dorie’s Cookies We had a family discussion about cookie versus cake. My son looked up the definition of a cookie “a small sweet cake, typically round, flat, and crisp”. Dorie’s Strawberry Shortcake Cookies almost fit this definition except crisp. This dessert became my family’s Memorial Day treat, it fit the bill of…
