No-Bake Lemon Mousse Cheesecake

By //  by Life In Pleasantville 2 Comments

Hi guys, this is my first post here at Life In Pleasantville and I am hoping it's a yummy one.  I was feeling all Springy (is that even a word?) and my mind drifted off to sunshine, yellow and then whoaaa!  Cheesecake, Lemon Mousse Cheesecake to be exact.   It's been awhile! Feeling like I should share this amazing burst of pure deliciousness on a plate with you and then thinking maybe my first post should be something more.  I am not exactly sure what I mean by more but …

Lemon Bars Made Simple

By //  by Candace Sampson 3 Comments

Today, I'm loving lemon bars. Snowmageddon Part Deux or Trois, I can't keep up, is on it's way today, this second last day of February and I'm trying hard not to get cranky. I am so over this winter. But the signs are there that spring is just around the corner. The days are getting a little bit longer and the cold is not quite as cold as it was and there are tulips in the stores which means tulips in the ground can't be far behind. So when life hands you lemons, make lemon desserts is what I …
