Patriotic Fruit Tarts

Ingredients- 1/3 cup sugar 2 tblsp Corn Starch 1/3 tsp salt 2 c. Milk 2 egg yolks beaten 2 tblsp Butter 2 tsp Vanilla 3/4 cup of sweet coconut...

Persian Lime Meringue Pie – PUCKER UP!

They say Persian Limes and Key Limes you can’t tell the difference. Honestly I beg to differ. I think you can. However this does NOT take away from the incredible puckery yumminess this pie has! Big hit with the family. In fact we almost ate too much of it before we remembered to take a photo. Chad created this pie from about 3 different recipes and tweaked it enough. This is his 2nd try and is a winner....

MB’s Lemonade Pound Cake

This is a very easy recipe. It comes from in part from my granny. Then I just changed stuff and added more to my liking. I have made it a few times and thought it was due time to blog about this cake. We always brag about Chad’s creations– maybe I can catch up?  haha. It is extremely tasty. In fact, I made this cake again to take photos but also because I was making it for a very special friends...
