Well hello strawberry tarts where have you been all my life? That’s exactly what I said as I stole another one of these beauties from under the glass dome. No one saw me, it doesn’t count!
I got looking around today and noticed part bags of this and half bricks of that cluttering my fridge and pantry. I seem to be a bit of a half used food hoarder! This weekend will be dedicated to cleaning up my act and creating something tasty out of all the things I have lying around. Starting with these strawberry cream tarts!
