ey Folks, Okay, I admit, I am so tired of winter and so ready for spring, and even though as I am writing this, it is still miserably cold outside; I find the need to think of warm sunshine, robins singing, and flowers blooming. This month I’m bringing you a delightful dessert (don’t even think about calories, carbs or fat grams) that is elegant enough for a spring luncheon, or a “just because I need to reward myself indulgence.” You won’t believe how delicious this recipe is, and I hope you and your family and friends enjoy it as much as I do!
Enjoy...........Lulabelle

Lulabelle’s Tip of the Month
Whenever I use canned cherry pie filling, to help give it more flavor, I always stir in 1⁄4 cup granulated sugar and 1 tsp. lemon juice. Whenever I use canned apple pie filling for baking, I always stir in 1⁄4 cup granulated sugar, 1⁄2 tsp. cinnamon and 1 tsp. lemon juice. -Lulabelle
