WALTER MURPHY- A Fifth of Beethoven (extended version)

This Mother’s Day, treat Mom to something sweet – and a homemade dessert makes it even more special. Whether Mom loves chocolate, fresh berries, or classic desserts, these recipes are the perfect way to celebrate her. No matter your skill level, there’s a dessert recipe you can make. From light and fruity desserts to rich chocolate treats to no-bake favorites, they’ll be delicious at a special brunch, backyard gathering, or simple family dinner.

Skillet meals are popular because they’re simple and make cleanup a breeze. A good skillet can go from the stovetop to the oven, making it perfect for everything from crispy fried chicken to baked desserts. Preparing a meal in a skillet helps to develop flavor, especially if using a cast iron skillet, because the pan will retain the heat, which creates wonderful browning, and adds flavor to dishes like meat, cornbread, and cobblers. In this roundup of easy skillet recipes, you’ll find easy meals, one-pan dinners, skillet breakfasts, and even cast iron desserts. Fewer pans, less clean up… that’s a win-win.

Crisp greens, sweet berries, juicy citrus… It’s time to celebrate the fresh ingredients that are bountiful in spring.
