ALMOND SHORTCAKE MINI TARTS WITH VANILLA ALMOND CREAM CHEESE AND BLACKBERRIES by Lori @ Creating Beauty in the Kitchen
Messy kitchen? Don’t worry, this next guest blogger with make it easier… errr, messier. 😀
Lori and I got along when we talked about being messy in the kitchen. 😀 I love Lori’s sense of humor and her being so helpful. Or let me just say – I love anything about Lori. She’s such a sweet gal, kind and ready to lend a helping hand. What more would you expect from Lori?
Hmm, I know when you here of Lori’s name, the first things that would come to your mind are no-refine sugars and low glycemic food. But isn’t it amazing when she can turn naughty foods into healthy ones? Well, let’s see what Lori is bringing today –
It is no secret around these parts that I enjoy Jhuls greatly! She is giving, thoughtful, spunky, caring, and oh so funny!! <3
That is why when she asked for guest posters, there was no way I was going to say no….even with being busy unpacking, painting, cleaning, etc. When she thoughtfully said, ” I know you are too busy, you don’t have to push yourself. ” My quick response was, “No, I WANT to do it my friend! I WILL do it! 😉 <3 Please count me in!”
So, here I am Jhuls! I am so grateful for your friendship and am honored and delighted to get to do this for you!
What did I bring you? Well, something sweet of course! 🙂
I loved these mini tarts! The delicious tastes of almond, cream cheese, and blackberries all mingled together!

I don’t know why, but something is causing me to unfollow people. Just so you know, there have been a few people that I’m had to hit ‘follow’ that I thought I was following already. WordPress says they can’t find any issues that are causing this.
Jhuls
No worries, Dave. I had the same experience with some bloggers before and I did hit the “follow” button again. Thanks for telling me this. 🙂 I hope you enjoy the rest of your week.
