Despite the fact that more snow is forecasted to fall tomorrow (no April Fool’s joke), I know that warmer weather is on the horizon! So I am transitioning my thinking to the sun-drenched days ahead. Come spring and summer I am always trying to create recipes that come together with relative ease (and with little time in the oven as well). This Lemon & Berry Slab Tart fits the bill. It was part of our Easter dessert table, but I think that it will be a festive recipe for Memorial Day or July 4th as well, and that’s why I am making sure to share the recipe with you (so I have it as well).
