Berry Berry Sorbet + White Chocolate Mushrooms

Sometimes I have extra berries, gettin’ all up in my business. Sometimes I wear outfits that match my sorbet. Sometimes I take photos of frozen goodness at lunch. Sometimes white chocolate tastes best with berries. Sometimes white chocolate tastes best as a mushroom. Sometimes Elliot’s foot is in the top right corner of a photo of blended berries. I’m just trying to say that it’s always a good idea to blend berries with sugar and…

Vanilla Bean Berry Cake

On Sunday, I woke up early to drive this cake to my favorite lady’s house for dessert. I went to church with tights that matched those raspberries. I turned off the tea water and ate chop suey. We passed the carrots, buttered french bread, and talked about summer, root beer floats, and bluebirds. And then took seconds. While still full, I sliced this cake and placed it on my Aunt Wanetta’s pretty blue and white plates, that…

One Big Multigrain Pancake

This pancake is for the super hungry waker-upper. It’s for the pancake champ. It’s for the hearty-whole wheat lover. It’s for me. This isn’t a light pancake. It’s actually pretty heavy. It’s manly, even. It’d wear flannel and chop wood and save me from a dragon. What a gentleman! You see, this pancake won. I didn’t completely finish it. Instead I left 2 whole bites on the plate and laid on the couch in defeat.…

Raspberry Lemonade

You know what? You guys are the best. Have I told you that lately? Just know it. And thanks for stopping by and taking a sip of this lemonade. You know what else? I made a double recipe of this goodness because I wanted the only pitcher I own (that I love and never have a chance to use) to be full to the brim. P.S. The doubled recipe is below. Feel free to cut…

Raspberry White Chocolate Scones

I’m wearing tennis shoes with my pajama dress right now. It has to do with me trying to kill a bug and instead having it fall somewhere shadowy and full of hiding spots and now I feel like it’s everywhere. I’ve failed at bug killing twice in the last week! It’s summer, don’t these bugs want to be outside? And once, Elliot licked a bug when I was hoping he’d take care of it for…

Raspberry Freezer Jam

I really need to quit using my skirt as an apron. At least when I made this stuff I remembered to wear a black skirt instead of that gray one. Mashing these berries can be splashy. Just make sure you don’t wear white, ok? I love freezer jam. It comes together quickly and lasts through the snow. I can’t wait to top crepes with this stuff, fill muffins with it and eat it on toast.…

Raspberry Granita

Sometimes it gets so hot that ice cream is required to live. Elliot’s the same way, but ice cream of the doggie variety. I’ve realized that what I require are granitas. I used half of a vanilla bean in the whipped cream. I figured whipped cream should have more freckles in the summer, since I do. What do you think of the color? I’m infatuated. I want to hug every raspberry I see based on the color…

Raspberry Almond Tartlettes

Mother’s Day is tomorrow. And my mom lives 14 hours away! I wish I could give her one of these tarts because she loves raspberries more than any lady I know. My mom’s kind of lady who bakes cookies for no reason and brushes pie crusts with chocolate to take them up a notch. She appreciates bakeries and teeny shortbreads and makes homemade dog treats for her little Lucy all the time. Basically, she’s a…

Raspberry Orange Mini Muffins with Pink Icing

PLEASE NOTE: I’ve remade/photographed these since. For the updated post click HERE. My first favorite thing about these muffins is how the raspberries turn the icing pink and my second favorite thing is the way the raspberries are a surprise when you bite into these. The deliciousness is understood. These are pretty much cupcakes, that I’ve decided to call a muffins for breakfast’s sake. They seem like the kind of breakfast cake that should be served…
