Sweet and tangy Mini Meyer Lemon Tarts with buttery shortbread crusts are easy and delicious spring and summer desserts!
Everyone talks about life giving you lemons and making lemonade. Well guess what? 1. If life gave me lemons, I would make something way cooler than lemonade (hellooo dessert!) and 2. Life does not give me lemons… unfortunately.
So what do I do when life doesn’t give me lemons? I go to my sister’s house because life has blessed her with a whole tree full of gorgeous Meyer lemons right in her backyard!
