Easy Fresh Cherry Cobbler

Here is perhaps the quickest recipe I have ever made for a pie/cobbler: mix 4 ingredients together, sprinkle on cherries (also would work with blueberries) and sugar and bake. Seriously … took all of 10 minutes to assemble, 30 minutes to bake. Imagine: putting this in the oven when you sit down for dinner, and have piping hot cobbler straight out of the oven for dessert. Pass the ice cream!

Extra-Lemony Limoncello Cookies

Here’s something different: Lemon cookies. I was looking around at all sorts of recipes, looking for something refreshing and summery — yet in cookie form — and came across something similar but without the candied lemon peel and limocello. I though: How can I approve on this? And these cookies were born. They are light, a little tangy, and definitely refreshing. A real hit. If you don’t have limoncello, you could use a bit of vodka instead, or even an orange liqueur. Give them a try and let me know what you think!

Easy Black Currant Shortbread Bars

I’ve made these before. OK, it was a variation of them, but this is one of my most versatile recipes… use currants, cherries, blueberries or raspberries (I would stay a little away from strawberries because they are too liquidy). While sometimes I make my own jam, this time I was lazy (or “made it easy”) by using store bought. Black currants aren’t exactly in season in Spring in New England! Continue Reading
