April Fool’s Day – Lasagna for dessert

This is by far the funniest dish. It was quite delish I might add!! This prank dessert was pretty involved- I won’t lie. It took some time to prepare.  No cooking or baking — just many layers of yummy goodness to make it look legit. We loved this as a family. It makes quite a…

Patriotic Fruit Tarts

Inspired from my latest copy of Food Network Magazine. I used the photo as the inspiration. I did not want to do a rich tart as they called for mascarpone cheese etc. I used a recipe that I previously posted for my eclairs but I also use it when I make Coconut Cream Pies. Ingredients-…

Brooke’s Purple Shake
