San Antonio summers can be like living in the Sahara... ok maybe not that dramatic but it feels that way when I'm walking across the Target parking lot:) Anyways, during this time I love to make cool treats and desserts to keep in my fridge and help me cool off from a day outside. My favorites include anything with citrus, especially lime. Check out these simple Tropical Tarts that will for sure help you survive summer!
