"Who wants ice cold lemonade pie?!"

 This pie is sure to satisfy your sweet tooth and refresh you during those hot summer days! 

When we were growing up our  mother would make these pies during the summertime in all kinds of different flavors! We had forgotten all about these pies until we came across a post mentioning them over at the fantastic blog, I Heart Naptime! Since summer is right around the corner, and this weekend is Memorial Day weekend, we thought it was a good time to make one up! Just think of the sweet, tart taste of lemonade, only in a creamy pie.....Yummy!

 A Taste of Italy!You don't have to go to Italy to enjoy a good Tuscan OliveTapenade!
Having Italian roots is one of my favorite boasts in life, after the Lord Jesus! Love the traditions, culture and of course the food! Authentic Italian food is actually a very healthy lifestyle. It falls into the Mediterranean Diet you probably have heard  so much about being so healthy for you. Unfortunately, and sadly, people think of "Italian" food as cheesy pizza and overly sauced spaghetti! Well, today I would like to introduce you to a yummy, healthy and quick olive tapenade that will leave you wanting more! Interested?!........

Easter Bread Inspiration

Easter bread memories from childhood.

Our Portuguese grandfather who was a baker would bring this bread to our house every Easter. We looked forward to it being part of the family Easter dinner every year.The bread always fascinated us as kids, and we thought it was magical how the bread had colored eggs on top! We haven't eaten our grandfather's special Easter bread  recipe in many years, but this year I am considering baking an Easter Bread for our family Easter gathering.

This lovely Easter Bread  loaf reminds me of my grandfathers traditional Easter bread with it's colorful eggs and golden brown color. I can smell it now! Here is another bread.
