TWD: Chocolate Truffle Tartlets

I hope you guys had a great Presidents' day!  It was also my brother's birthday and the whole day, my kids were trying to get out of doing things since it was his birthday.  Sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn't.  I spent the day baking in celebration of some great men. :)

As you can see, our recipe this week was Chocolate TRUFFLE tartlets.  I took that to mean they would be really rich and delicious.  And I was right.

Raspberry Pie

 My friend, Jenni, invited us to Arizona for Thanksgiving this year.  We were so excited to get to see our friends again we jumped at the chance.  She emailed me a couple weeks ago asking if we could make some desserts for Thanksgiving.  My response was, "Uh, YEAH!"  Isn't it always great to have an excuse to make desserts?  I think so.  I left the decisions up to her about which ones we would make because I figured she knew her family better and what they would like.  And because I will eat just about any kind of dessert so it didn't matter to me.  She did ask what Tyler's favorite pie was and I told her it was raspberry so she added it to her list.  She is so nice to Tyler.  I would have just let him make due with the other 50 dessert choices we had.
