Recipes that put a little "spring" in your kitchen

Posted By Team Latham

John and I helped host coffee and fellowship at church on Sunday. For occasions such as this, I always enjoy making recipes that are easy to prepare ahead of time,  make large quantities and require little prep time. Plus,  they must look and taste delectable. This weekend I chose two recipes that fit the bill on all accounts: Peanut Butter Cup Cookies, which are one of my kids’ favorites, and Blueberries & Lemon Cream in Phyllo Shells.

Blueberries & Lemon Cream is most likely a recipe you don’t already have in your collection. I do hope you’ll give it a try! It’s a nice, light recipe for spring and summer. May this recipe help bring a little “spring” into your kitchen, too.
