Girls Day

For the last couple of years the women in my fiance's family go wine touring in Niagara in June. This was my second year going, and I was so thankful we had nice weather for our trip.

We usually have a potluck picnic lunch and I decided this year to make lemon poppy seed sugar cookies shaped in lemon and lime wedges.

Everyone really seemed to love the cookies. Although I think next time I'll add more lemon as it dissipated quite a bit in the oven.

After all our fun at the wineries, we returned home for a BBQ with the menfolk. Hamburgers, hotdogs and tons of good food.

I kept half the cookies at home for the BBQ since I didn't want the guys to miss out and I also made chocolate peanut butter cupcakes, topped with chocolate peanut butter ganache. ( say that five times fast )

Chocolate and peanut butter has to be one of my favourite combinations. 

With the temperature being over 30 here I'm going to be switching to some no-bake desserts for a bit to beat the summer heat.
