Rustic Spanish Pear Tarte

I love learning new recipes when I travel, and this is one that I picked up on a trip to Spain.  We enjoyed it at a bustling street cafe somewhere in Barcelona and I had to bring the recipe home with me. The texture is light and creamy, and the pears give it just the right amount of sweetness.  Its a perfect dessert after a heavy meal, or on a warm summer night!

French Almond Yogurt Cake with Pears

It seems like every French home I've visited has some version of this quick, tasty recipe taped to the inside of a cupboard door.  This is a simple dessert that is perfect for making together with the kids because the measuring is so wonderfully simple.

This version is topped with fresh pears, which adds a luxurious flavor and appearance to the cake.
