Welcome to Sweet Saturday at Charlene Blogs. For the next four months (all the way through the holidays), I'm going to be sharing some treats that you can make for your sweetheart, family, friends, and, of course, for you.
Now, if you know me at all, you know that simple is King. Make it easy, and you've won my cooking and baking attention. My daughters can attest to my inept abilities in the kitchen--just yesterday I burned the baked squash beyond crisp. I made them promise not to hit me over the head with it as I cracked it on the counter top. So, rest assured these recipes will be easy as well as yummy. *smile* And rest assured that I am not the creator of these treats. All credit will be given to the wonderful sources.
To begin Sweet Saturday off, I'm sharing a recipe for Heart of My Heart Tarts that I found at TasteOfHome.com. They have some wonderful goodies there and you should check them out.

YUM!! Charlene - I'm definitely going to give these a whirl - I like the recipe as is, but I think I might change it up a teeny bit by adding mini choc. chips and subtracting the nuts for my grandchildren. Let you know how that turns out:)
Great idea! I think they'd be fun for kids to make too. My daughter is learning to bake and stuff like this builds her kitchen confidence. Lol. (and I do better with the easy stuff)
