I made these Red Velvet Cheesecake Brownies for my sister's birthday back in March.  I am told they did not last long once she got them.

I love all things mint chocolate chip and since they were green, I made these as a St. Patty's Day treat.  They were yum!!!

My brother LOVES lemon, so when I saw these, I knew I had to make them for him for his birthday.  These lemon brownies were light and delicious, with just the right amount of lemon.

Speaking of lemons, this lemon blackberry cheesecake was A-MAZ-ING!  I absolutely love cheesecake and this totally hit the spot.

This is my Strawberry Rhubarb pie.  The recipe is from AllRecipes.com, but I tweaked it a little {my changes will be marked in red.}  It came out delicious!  Not one piece was left :)

• 1 cup white sugar 
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

• 1 pound fresh rhubarb, chopped {I used about 3/4 of a pound instead of the full pound, and liked the flavor balance.}

• 2 pints fresh strawberries

• 1 recipe pastry for a 9 inch double crust pie

• 2 tablespoons butter

• 1 egg yolk {I omitted the egg yolk on the crust.  It wasn't shiny, but tasted just as good.}

• 2 tablespoons white sugar {I also left out the extra sugar on the crust.}
• 
  
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). In a large bowl, mix flour and sugar. Add strawberries and chopped rhubarb. Toss with sugar and flour and let stand for 30 minutes.  Pour filling into pie crust. Dot top with butter, and cover with top crust. Seal edges of top and bottom crust with water.  Apply yolk to top of pie, using a pastry brush. Sprinkle with sugar. Cut small holes in top to let steam escape.  Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until bubbly and brown. Cool on rack.

Such a yummy pie.  If you've never had Strawberry Rhubarb Pie, I highly recommend it!
