With spring fully in season, I think about utilizing fruits in more of my dishes. There's something about the chill of winter that makes me shy away from many fruit-based dishes. However, with longer days filled with sunshine and steadily increasing temperatures, the thought of a tropical salsa or a fruit salad becomes much more appealing.
Today's Best B&B Bites recipe would be an excellent choice. Provided by Andon-Reid Inn Bed and Breakfast, located in Waynesville, North Carolina, this dessert provides a nice balance of sweetness and acidity. Complement that with the combination of a crisp crust and creamy filling,

The other night was a cooking-free Tapas Monday.

Another way to mimic the taste of summer is to utilize dried fruits.

Now that we've talked about a variety of dishes for St. Patrick's Day dinner and brunch, it's time to consider a little bit of dessert. Honestly, I don't usually think too much about dessert for this holiday, as the meal tends to be heavy. Plus, when St. Patrick's Day falls on a weekday, there isn't always the time to linger over a multi-course meal.
With the collision of St. Patrick's Day and Saturday this year, why not give an Irish dessert a try? This recipe is simple to make, requires few ingredients, and will provide some nice bright flavors to
