These delightful lemon bars have a wonderful tangy flavor, and they're always a hit. As a bonus, the color and shape make them a nice addition to a dessert platter.

Classic Flan

I like to offer a mixture of tangy tropical fruits to cut the flan’s sweetness a bit. You could also serve flan as part of a spread of Mexican dessert recipes. It’s a great follow-up to tacos, Puerto Rican pernil or some easy Cuban picadillo.

Desserts

Rhubarb Dump Cake

The calories aren’t so bad here, actually. Assuming you portion this cake out into 12 servings, one serving has only about 300 calories.

Desserts

Honey Cake

First, monitor the cake. Remove it from the oven if it rises and turns golden brown. You can also stick a toothpick into the cake and if it comes out clean without any batter then it’s finished baking.

Fish & Seafood

Italian Fish Fillets

White fish fillets baked with tomatoes, garlic, basil, and olive oil. A rustic, Mediterranean-style dish perfect served with crusty bread or pasta.

Desserts

Lemon Sponge Cups

I found the recipe for these lemon sponge cups in my Aunt Mariah's old-fashioned recipe box (an actual box), when I was visiting with her in my hometown, Galax, Virginia, to learn how to make her exquisite, feathery rolls. The rolls took lots of practice. The lemon sponge cups, though, were a breeze; also, they make you feel fancy, like a lady. You pour the batter into individual souffle dishes or ramekins, and when they come out of the oven they have cute puffy-brown tops, with a layer of lemon custard on the bottom. Without whipped cream, they are perfectly light and sour-sweet; but a spoonful of whipped cream is always nice for company.
