The Pleated Poppy Shop // I am a HUGE fan and supporter of handmade shops. I know all of the hard work, sacrifices and sleepless nights that come with running a handmade business. It's not for the faint of heart for sure. I am constantly in awe of some of the amazing artisans out there who are working so hard everyday to make these treasures available for all of us. With that said… One of my favorite handmade businesses is closing down their shop and right now is your last chance to get some of The Pleated Poppy's fun creations!

Easy Lemon Mousse

72 · · 6 Comments

Hello Whipperberry friends!  I'm so happy to be back over here again!  I hope your winter is sailing along smoothly…I know it's been a snowy one for many of us.  Which leaves us dreaming of sunny warm days, flip flops and time on the deck!  I know I sure am…winters here are looooong.

And a funny thing happens to me right about now in the doldrums of winter…I start craving lemons.  Every single year.  There is something so summery and refreshing and inspiring about lemons don't you think?  It makes me want to put lemons in ALL the things!  Lemon loaves, lemon tarts, lemonade, even lemons at dinner!

So when the lemon urge struck once again this week, I made an Easy Lemon Mousse.
