Meyer Lemon Bars

Recipe for Meyer Lemon Bars - It's the perfect combination of sweet and tart. The rind is beautiful, thin and a gorgeous shade of yellow. The flesh is a deep yellow with a hint of orange. The fruit is fragrant and is slightly less tart than a traditional lemon. Of course you can make these bars with regular lemons but Meyer lemons just make it a little more special.

Sweet Potato Pie

Recipe for Sweet Pototo Pie, a true Southern tradition. It may look a lot like pumpkin pie, but it's completely different. It's a bit denser and has a great depth of flavor. The cinnamon compliments the sweet potato filling but doesn't overpower it. I pair this pie with a cinnamon whipped cream - which is probably not very Southern, but a little heavy whipping cream makes everything taste better.
