A Blast of Berry Bounty!


We were having a picnic by Minniehaha last night.  I just call this creek/river the "Ha".  And a little girl came running up to our picnic table with some berries she'd picked from a tree.  She and her dad didn't know what kind they were.  It was almost like she knew we were some kind of berry experts!  I'm sure she saw last week's post.  Ha!  Little did she know how much foraging we did this Summer. We've seen her mystery berries all over.  They look like blackberries, except they grow on a tree. They are notorious for staining the biking and walking trails purple.  I've even seen people picking them.  Boysenberries?  Mulberries?  I don't know.  I'll have to google them.  If you know leave a comment.  But for now check out my berry goodies.

(Above) French Toast with Black Raspberries.  I look forward to this all Winter! It is such a winning combo.



Very Vanilla Cupcakes with Raspberries.  I frosted them with both Chocolate Butter Cream and White Chocolate Frosting.  


Black Raspberry Jam



Fresh Raspberry Glazed Pie.  I updated my Mom's recipe with a cream cheese filling and an Oreo Crust.  I've had people tell me this is the best pie they have ever eaten!


Spiked Crepes with Whipped Cream and Fresh Berries.


My favorite Summer breakfast. (I posted this easy recipe on July 4th!)


Raspberry White Chocolate Oreo Torte.


This one is kind of a joke!  We brought berries to our hotel!


Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake.


A homemade Chocolate Raspberry Bar. Easy.


Red Raspberry Jam.

Now just leave a comment for the dessert you'd like a recipe for and I'll post it on Wednesday!

P.S.  Caren asked me to add the follow by email feature to my blog.  So I did!

July 4th!

No, we don't live on a berry farm.  We live on a tiny city lot.  But we are blessed with a bountiful raspberry patch.  And we foraged for all of the black raspberries.  Black raspberries are my favorite berry.  And the thought of waiting until next Summer for more brings a big ole sniff.  But I will say that I'm happy to be off berry picking duty.  And as for berry eating, you will have to check back next Monday.  I'm posting all the goodies that I made with this year's crop.  And you can leave a comment for which dessert you'd like a recipe for on Wednesday. 

 But guess what we were doing yesterday?  Picking blueberries...
