Saturday Chitchat with Janine – Volume 162
I’m constantly grappling with simplifying my projects, always aiming to streamline them.
Here’s a quote I stumbled upon that hits home:
“Simplicity is the keynote of all true elegance.” – Coco Chanel
So today, I’m excited to share some simple and easy spring desserts that will satisfy your sweet tooth and make your weekend a bit brighter!
A Personal Note from Janine
I hope you’re enjoying spring!
Isn’t this time of year just lovely? The days are getting longer and warmer, trees are budding and blooming, and we’re starting to spend more time outdoors!
Between our hikes, I’ve been having a blast in the kitchen with some fun baking. Now that we’re finally out of our rainy winter weather, I look forward to making some macarons. I’m unsure if humidity affects them, but I’m not taking any chances!
But don’t worry, I’m not sharing the complicated macaron recipe with you today.
We’re all about easy desserts here.
So grab a warm drink, find a comfy chair, and let’s hang out!

Cheers,

You’ve probably seen these Mini Lemon Flower Tarts all over social media. I jazz them up by adding colorful twists to my homemade cookie dough. Those springtime colors give these treats an extra pop!

A sugar cookie in a mug is a perfect single-serving dessert of a sugar cookie made in a cup and cooked in the microwave. It’s a soft sugar cookie recipe that is light, fluffy, and doesn’t contain egg yolk or brown sugar. It’s a quick and easy way to make a sweet treat for one person.
These mug sugar cookies are a blank canvas in which you can customize your cookies to your taste. Add delicious candies, chocolate, nuts, and more to your cookie. I promise this is an easy recipe to make.
Make these easy, healthy, and homemade Air-Fried Churros. First, make the churros in the air fryer, then roll them in a cinnamon sugar topping.
