Mother’s Day Dessert Idea: Lighter Lemon Squares
Who doesn’t love lemon squares? I thought for Mother’s Day, these Lighter Lemon Squares would be great, and they are very easy, only 25 minutes of prep time. My kids eat these in a matter of seconds so it’s good that this recipe makes 16 servings.
Welcome to Updated Ingredients, Inc. and Strawberry Parfaits
Welcome to the launch of the updated look of Ingredients, Inc. I started my blog on October 25, 2008, so 5 months later, here I am. I want to to thank all of my supportive loyal fans and subscribers, and I hope you as well as new friends will like this new look as much as I do. Take a moment to look at the “shop” button where I have listed a few of my favorite items. I will be attending the International Housewares show this weekend in Chicago to add new unique items to the store.
In the meantime, I thought I would feature a new favorite recipe I developed using marscarpone cheese. This recipe is so easy to prepare, and it’s as delectable as it looks. I have made these several times, and kids and adults are wowed. It’s the perfect springtime light dessert so let me know what you think. Best, Alison
Five Ingredient Low-Fat Pear-Cherry Crisp for St. Patrick’s Day
Coming up with five ingredient recipes can be really challenging as a Recipe Developer, especially when it comes to desserts. I love warm desserts such as cobblers and crisps. A crisp is a dessert of fruit that is topped with a crumbly pastry mixture, usually oats, brown sugar and butter. Using low-fat granola is a great way to cut down on the amount of ingredients. This recipe is very simple, low-fat, great for kids, and it works well in individual baking dishes, such as this clover for St. Patrick’s Day.
