sunday treats...

just add pastry chef to my resume. just kidding. though the desserts below look really good, i can only take credit for putting them together. of course, we had these delicious creations for dessert when we had our usual sunday dinner at my parents. all the filling is, is mascarpone cheese mixed with lemon pie filling. oh so yummy.

 i popped 3 in 5 minutes while there. and another while writing this post later in the night.

pre-grilled artichokes. 

did i mention that the weather on sunday was incredible? because it was. it reached 18 degrees and we had our first bbq. dad cooked up the artichoke you see, asparagus, feta/green onion/red pepper stuffed chicken breats, basmati rice and salad. hopefully we can still make it for dinners most sundays once we move. i mean, how can we pass up dinners like this, and all the leftovers we take home?
