Berrylicious!

I've been picking black raspberries from the yard already. I think it must be the earliest I've ever picked berries in my life. And they say climate change is a myth...



In any case, they are delicious. I haven't had a chance to cook with them yet but I've been enjoying them with vanilla yogurt and in cereal. Anybody have some good recipe suggestions? Baking some type of pie is probably in order.

Our neighbor/friend graduated with her PhD last weekend and I made her a red velvet cake decorated with berries from the yard. It was a big hit!

Egg muffins!


I'm a big fan of breakfast. I think the first dish I ever cooked by myself was scrambled eggs. I'm always looking for delicious new ways to prepare eggs and so I was excited about a new recipe I found recently for egg muffins. This weekend I tried it out. I made two different kinds: one with green & red peppers, onions and pepper jack cheese and the other with arugula, grape tomatoes, onions and Parmesan. Mmm... This recipe is definitely a keeper!
