Strawberry Blueberry Napoleons

This recipe for Strawberry Blueberry Napoleon is another great entertaining gem - easy to make, sophisticated presentation and can be made in advance and assembled in 3 minutes after dinner.

Don't let the phyllo pasty intimidate you - even if they are a broken mess when you put them in the oven, they will end up looking great. I also must confess, I never have bothered with the balsamic sauce.

I made it most recently when we had our also pregnant neighbors over for dinner. Greg made his famous steak frites for dinner and I was in charge of salad and dessert. It was a fun night and we enjoyed getting to know our neighbors better - we've only lived in our house about five years now, so I suppose it's about time!

Summer Squash Lattice Tart

And I'm back...not sure where I went. I've been cooking plenty, but just haven't been blogging about it. I think I got off track with the holiday craziness. I'm about to have my first baby so we'll see how long I can keep this up, but until then I am back.

I've made Martha's Summer Squash Lattice Tart tart lots of times when entertaining as it always gets lots of "ooohhhs and ahhs" both for appearance and taste. We enjoyed a wonderful Christmas dinner at the Pannoni's this year with friends and I brought this over as an appetizer. While no, it's not the easiest dish to make it's not really hard either (just don't make this on top of five other complex dishes when entertaining).
