Jolene's Recipe Journal

  P is for Parsley, Parmesan and Pesto! This year I'm participating in a bi weekly challenge with some blogging friends to post recipes using all of the letters in the alphabet.  It can feature a food that begins with the letter of the week or the recipe name can contain the week's letter.

One of my favorite treats to make is donuts and I've made several from Sara Mellas' Easy Baked Donut cookbook and they've all been winners.  After battling the weather and our wild turkey population for a week, I finally had enough berries to make the Glazed Blueberry Cake Donuts.

My plan for today's recipe was to keep it super simple. Lemon tartlets topped with raspberries, 4 ingredients, don't even need to turn on the oven.  That was derailed when I discovered I couldn't get my hands on the ready to serve phyllo dough cups.  I ran around to a few stores, even had my husband searching but the best I could come up with were Pepperidge Farm puff pastry shells.

 It has been such a hot summer that we've barely gotten any use out of our fire pit. My son has been despondent over the lack of s'mores so when I chose my recipes for this year's Summer Dessert Week I had to make sure I included some form of them.

O is for Oreo! This year I'm participating in a bi weekly challenge with some blogging friends to post recipes using all of the letters in the alphabet.  It can feature a food that begins with the letter of the week or the recipe name can contain the week's letter.

July is National Ice Cream Month and I'm joining some blogger friends for a virtual Ice Cream Social! I had a recipe chosen months ago but then the June/July issue of Taste of Home magazine came and the Cherry Ice Cream caught my eye.

N is for Naan! This year I'm participating in a bi weekly challenge with some blogging friends to post recipes using all of the letters in the alphabet.  It can feature a food that begins with the letter of the week or the recipe name can contain the week's letter.
