Easy Easter Elegance – Week 3

by Jenni on March 31, 2010

The Lemon Tart! Wow, what can I say, this is a great flavored tart with spunk! It is classic Barefoot Contessa, great flavor, intense color, and EASY. The approximate cost of this meal is $10/person and it will feed 6-8 people. So, I hope you have enjoyed my first holiday series along with the recipes, grocery list and approximate food cost. Have a wonderful holiday weekend, and I will meet you back at the table very soon to help your family use dairy creatively and tastefully in new and delicious recipes.

Meanwhile, remember that it is time for everyone to come back to the table and help in the kitchen. So, try to include everyone as this is where you learn what’s going on in each other’s lives.
