Food, Wine, Family. Fun!
I had some blueberries and strawberries that needed to be used up and what better way to do that than make some delicious dessert bars. I'm sure I've mentioned it before that my kids go in spurts with eating fresh fruit. Sometimes it's gone in days and other times, I'm looking for ways to use… Continue reading Berry Crumble Bars
My family can't get enough of peaches and blueberries this year. The peaches are so good! We had a family picnic earlier this month (yes, I'm just getting around to blogging about it) and I made this delicious trifle. I wanted something that was easy to transport since we had to drive from PA to… Continue reading Peach Blueberry Trifle
This year was the first time I've hosted Easter and I have to say it was a success! I broke tradition and made a couple new side dishes and a delicious ham with a Riesling-peach mango glaze. As I'm hosting more family dinners, I'm finding that my entertaining supplies are limited....I don't have salt and… Continue reading Raspberry Lemon Cheesecake Tart
It's time for The Secret Recipe Club reveal for my group this month. I had a hard time picking a recipe from my assignment, The Painted Apron, this month. I had several recipes narrowed down, but after picking up raspberries on my last Costco trip, I knew I had to make Jenna recipe for blue raspberry… Continue reading Black Raspberry Bread – The Secret Recipe Club
Madeline asked me to make muffins the other day and after giving her different options, she said she wanted blueberry ones with cranberries. Ok..that would be too difficult to do since I had both types of fruit and it was the perfect opportunity to try out a new muffin recipe using cooked quinoa! I've been… Continue reading Double Berry Quinoa Muffins
This month is national ice cream month and I knew I had to make ice cream. I love ice cream, but it doesn't love me back. I know...it's not fair! I was browsing through the July/August Eating Well Magazine and came across this easy recipe for ice cream pie. It gave a master recipe and… Continue reading Double Berry Ice Cream Pie
Scones come in a close second to muffins for me. There's something about the cream, butter, and texture that I can't pass up....now add in fresh blackberries and a little lemon. Mouthwatering, right? These scones are perfect to enjoy with your cup of coffee or tea for breakfast or for a little afternoon snack. I… Continue reading Mini Blackberry Cream Scones
It's the second Monday of the month and you know what that means....it's SECRET RECIPE CLUB time!! I've participated in the group for more than 2 years and I love it. It's a great way to meet new bloggers and try new recipes - it has taken me outside of my comfort zone with my… Continue reading Strawberry Cheesecake Parfaits – Secret Recipe Club
Things have been a little quiet around here lately....my little guy was dealing with a random fever for over a week. So needless to say, I had very little time to do any cooking or baking since he was attached to me. He's doing better now and we're not sure what caused the fever, just… Continue reading Blueberry Oatmeal Breakfast Bars
As you know, I love making muffins for the kids! These oatmeal cakes were the perfect snack or even for breakfast. I made half with blueberries and the other half with strawberries. They're the perfect combination of oatmeal and a muffin, plus I feel better that my kids are getting homemade snacks instead of snacks… Continue reading Blueberry Oatmeal Cakes
