Although we had a pretty mild winter here in Michigan this year I am SO happy to see summer arrive this year!

I’m looking forward to the laid back, slower paced nights of stargazing, barbecues, and lounging on the deck with my best friend.  Last summer we had just bought this new house and our nights were filled with nothing but late nights of hard work to fix it up, so it will be nice this year to be able to really enjoy it.

I am in a contest to come up with the best summer barbecue recipe today and I’d love your help to win! I came up with this new recipe that I love and I think you’ll love too!  In fact my son who hates strawberries gobbled down two pieces in just a few minutes right before my eyes!

It’s no secret that I love strawberry lemonade, in fact I just made up another batch of the strawberry lemonade drink I shared with you here.  This was my inspiration for this dessert.

I am participating in a Virtual Summer Barbecue with several other amazing bloggers today.  In fact each of us have prepared an original recipe to bring to the table with the hopes of having the winning dish.

The recipe that receives the most comment TODAY ONLY will win.

So please, if you think this post sounds amazing would you please leave me a comment here letting me know so!

  8. Lemon Curd:
  9. Add three eggs, ¾ cup sugar, and ⅓ cup lemon juice to a stainless steel bowl.
  10. In a stainless steel bowl placed over a saucepan of simmering water, whisk together the eggs, sugar, and lemon juice until blended.

  12. Cut in 4 tablespoons of butter until melted and let cool a bit before you pour this on top of your dessert.

Notes
I think it might be even better to double the filling. Also I totally forgot to cut in the butter on my lemon curd and it still tasted great!
