Cover your pan with parchment paper. Add the remaining 1 ½ tablespoons of melted butter to pan on top of the parchment paper. Set aside. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Ground the Honey Grahams until finely ground. Mix the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and butter in a small bowl. Add to the pan and press evenly onto bottom of an 8-inch square glass baking dish. Bake until dry and golden brown, about 10 – 15 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack. Prepare the filling. Place 4 egg yolks and lime zest in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Mix on high speed until very thick. This should take about 5 minutes. Reduce speed to medium.

Spread filling evenly over crust using a spatula. Bake, rotating dish halfway through, until filling is just set, about 10 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack.

Mix on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. Refrigerate until ready to use. Garnish bars with whipped cream and a slice of lime.

 #JuneFunFood I am always looking for a way to change things up by cooking something different for the family. Now that the weather is getting warmer, no one wants to be in front of the stove. I prepared two recipes one baked an the other fried. Both are great for those evenings when you want to eat a whole bunch of appetizers as a meal (yummy) or for entertaining friends on baseball night or soccer Saturdays. Remember it's best to wear gloves when handling the jalapenos. The seeds and the juice are extremely spicy. Also if the seeds and juice make contact with you eyes it will BURN!!! Here is the link to the cooking demo:

Should I bite the lean top or the plump bottom? After many years of my great pear eating mystery, I found a solution to my problem with this recipe for poached pears in Riesling. I used my farmers' market fine. The white Riesling wine from Venti Vines, Bosc Pears, a vanilla bean, brown sugar and 3.5 cups of water. In under 3 hours I had this wonderful dessert. The combination of the Riesling, pears and vanilla bean has an aromatic flavor and the taste is so wonderful. You don't have to take my word, try it for yourself:
https://youtu.be/f8Rxtm5Qdsc XOXOXOX Dawn  June is finally here! Let's welcome the warm weather with tasty fun foods. What could possibly be tastier than guacamole.? It's made with avocados, tomatoes, red onions, lime juice, cilantro, a little sea salt and pepper. Give it a good toss in a bowl and it's done! This month I will be sharing my great summer food finds. Join me on twitter #junefunfoods as I explore farmers' markets , tweet food facts, share ingredients and recipes. Below is the video demonstration for this dish. I hope you will enjoy!!!
https://youtu.be/PkcbpxLigxI XOXOXOXOX Dawn  To celebrate Celiac awareness month, I converted a recipe for a family favorite - mac & cheese. I created a recipe for a traditional mac & cheese, a mac & cheese with chives and a mac & cheese with Bacon and Bread Crumbs. I used Ronzoni's gluten free pasta and 4C Bread Crumbs. I baked each recipe in a cupcake tin. Baking mini mac & cheese dishes provides the opportunity to taste all three dishes. The cupcake tins are also great for parties, school events and workplace pot luck events.
This was my first experience using #Ronzoni gluten free pasta and #4C gluten free bread crumbs. I was very pleased with the consistency of the pasta and the bread crumbs. I will definitely use both again in a future recipe. Below is the link to my video tutorial. I changed the format of my video. I combined music with a narration, Please share your feedback with me. Gluten Free Mac & Cheese 3 Recipes: Chives, Traditional & Bacon http://youtu.be/M8sXXAAxmwc Thanks for reading my blog! XOXOXOXOX Dawn  It is that time of year again! Spring is here. I am always looking for a way to avoid cooking the same dishes, but I want eat healthy. I roasted chicken breasts for dinner. I had leftovers (one breast). This definitely was not enough for a two night meal and did not want to trash the one breast. The good news is that leftovers make excellent brown bag lunches. I converted my lone roasted chicken breast into a delicious gluten free chicken salad. The recipe is simple: roasted chicken breast, part of a red onion, one sweet pepper and mayonnaise. I complimented my chicken salad with Glutino's Gluten Free Crackers. I love this salad. I hope you will enjoy. Below is the link to my video tutorial:
