Last weekend at our craft retreat, as part of breakfast, my sister made some wonderful breakfast parfaits using fresh raspberries and I enjoyed it so much that I came home and made up a batch of my Easy Crunchy Granola and went out and picked some more fresh raspberries and made myself another breakfast parfait!

My raspberries are in full swing right now, but my dad has even more that I do and we are trying to keep up with them! I usually just pick them and wash them, then put them on a lined cookie sheet to flash freeze them. That way I can use them whenever I am ready. I had in my mind that I wanted to make some muffins and I love the lemon blueberry recipe that I have, so decided to try another version with raspberries. They did not disappoint!

These are perfect for the freezer, you can just take out the amount you need, warm them up a bit and you are good to go!

Woot, Woot! My rss reader has had a post teaser on it that I could not seem to get removed, but it is now off! Yeah! I think that I might have actually jumped up and down and shouted for joy!

So let’s celebrate with a little chocolate!

I saw these in an ad that came in the mail and I decided to give it a try and see if I could make some on my own. I liked the results and my family loved these!

They are beautiful to look at and oh so yummy and wouldn’t these be a fun little Valentine gift for that special little someone? Continue reading →
