BARB'S BUTTER TART ADVENTURE- FIRST STOP NIAGARA ON THE LAKE

I love the two Butter tart tours in Ontario- Wellington Trail and Kawartha Tour. I made a decision that wherever I go this summer I would buy butter tarts. So on a day trip to Niagara on the Lake and visiting wineries I had the opportunity to buy some tarts.

A stop at Niagara Home Bakery on Queen Street was a must.
Bought the tarts and some apple strudel.

Although there are several varieties, I decided on the ones with pecans.
Yummy. Even good for freezing to enjoy another day.
 It does not mean I will not try the other two tours if the opportunities arise. But doing my own little independent one is rather fun too!!

THE BEST BUTTER TARTS

Were made by my late mother-in-law, Concetta. Although she was a fabulous cook, her baking was even better. Butter tarts are Canadian. She came from Italy and learnt to make them here. What was so special was the fact she would make them to take to someone's home when they were sick, a dessert item for festive dinners and any other occasion since we loved them. The taste was so good because she put love into them! Food is one of those comfort things in our lives. We often equate food with memories. The smell of baked bread! Turkey cooking! Coffee brewing! Are there foods that bring memories for you? Do you miss someone in your life that made a favourite entree?
