Hello, Everyone! I am so excited to have the opportunity to share with you here today! My name is Cathy and I blog over at Lemon Tree Dwelling.
Two years ago my family and I moved into a real lemon of a house, and since then we have been working to transform it into the place we now call home. Since my blog is all about using what you have to create a warm, welcoming dwelling place (i.e. making lemonade out of lemons) I thought it would be fitting to share a recipe with you today that uses….you guessed it…..lemons!
I am always amazed when I drive past an Olive Garden and see the parking lot full of cars. And not just on Friday and Saturday nights, but pretty much anytime. All the time! Don’t get me wrong – I enjoy their soup, salad and breadsticks as much as the next gal…..but what is it about that place that has people hooked!? Sure, the endless pasta bowl is great….but who can eat that much pasta, anyway? And the breadsticks are pretty darn good too….but a breadstick isn’t going to keep people coming back. If you ask me, there is only one thing that can explain it – the raspberry lemonade!

So yesterday, my husband told me like 2 hours before a party that we (read: I!!) needed to bring dessert for 20-30 people! I made these along with a chocolate salted caramel dump cake. The tartlets were a big hit!
