“The Best I Ever Made”<\/p><\/div>\n

Hi Friends,  It has been a long time since I posted on Tidbits of Joy.  I took a new job as office manager for Pinnacle Endodontics, Dr. Cameron Howard last year.  Now that it is up and running I can scale back on the days I work.  So, I am hoping to get back to posting and hearing from you.<\/p>\n

This is a simple but elegant Torte that my friend Marcy Howard made a lot this past Holiday Season.  The great thing is the recipe makes two so one to serve now and one to freeze.  Are you surprised that I like this?   I am making it today to take to our small group “Retreat” next weekend.  We all bring a meal and I am doing homemade lasagna, which I already made and put in the freezer, a chopped salad and this yummy Almond Torte.  I like to serve this Torte with whipped cream and berries.  I hope you will try it and let me know what you think.  <\/p>\n

The credit for this Torte goes to Anna Lee’s Kitchen in Roswell, Georgia.  Her restaurant is known for cooking classes and wonderful lunches.  Over the years I have attended many classes and have acquired a lot of great recipes that I serve over and over. <\/p>\n

Happy 2016 and whatever you cook “It will be the best you ever made”.<\/p>\n
