Tasty Tuesday: She's a lemon, tart!

Who said watching your weight meant a diet of celery sticks and lettuce leaves?

Check out this lemon tart - I made little mini ones for LB and I over the weekend and they were Divine! Might have to whip up another over the weekend as Mum and Dad are coming to visit!

Ginger nut biscuits always make me think of my Pa (below). Pa is a legend. At 86 he's still as sharp as a tack and by far the wisest person I know. Growing up I have fond memories of Pa sitting at the head of his laminated table, sipping Lipton tea and crunching down on a few ginger nut bikkies. I thought they tasted terrible at the time, but now - they make for a great tart base!
