Antioxidant-Rich Fruits
The health benefits of antioxidant-rich fruits are undeniable. The news is all abuzz about how good they are for us. Blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, raspberries and cherries top the list according to Researchers at the Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University and Readers Digest.com. There are many more including vegetables that pack a punch when it comes to antioxidants.
Berry Season
It's berry season in my neck of the woods now. And if you love berries as much as I love berries, you'll love these berry desserts and baked goods I've hand-picked just for you!
Blueberry Pie Recipe & Cherry Pie Recipe
These recipes come directly from our former bakery. Customers waited patiently for the berries to ripen because they knew we'd be pumping out delicious Blueberry and Cherry Pies! We always used our #1 Best Flaky Pie Crust Recipe for all our pies. It's a no-fuss, easy-peasy pie crust. If I could teach my guys to make this crust, you can too!
Strawberry Shortcake Recipe
With homemade buttermilk biscuits and fresh whipped cream, who could resist the ever-popular Strawberry Shortcake? Use your imagination and vary the berries, combine 2 or 3 and make a special mixed berry shortcake! Buy the biscuits at your supermarket if you're pressed for time. Just make it. You know you want to!
Blueberry Crisp with all its oatmeal and brown sugar goodness will knock your socks off, especially if you add a scoop of you favorite ice cream!
Blueberry & Strawberry Muffins
Muffins are a breakfast favorite, but you can eat them anytime. Load them up with berries, fruit and nuts for a perfect power-packed fast-food snack! Try the Vegan Blueberry Muffins as well.
