I can’t express how neat it is, to show you my delve into the bakingBlackberries

world, so that I can display pictures of my beautiful new fancy plates.

I was able to get my chubby little hands on some fresh blackberries. Yes, a whole flat full. Yay. Have I mentioned my incredible love affair that I have with berries?

So, after eating off of them for a couple of days, and deciding it was butter, butter, butterfreeze, use or loose, I started to look for a recipe that could delight our tastebuds with these beautiful blackberries.

I settled on, a simple blackberry crumb cake. It’s so easy, and is absolutely delicious.

It goes like this!

Ingredients:A Pinch of Salt

4 tablespoons butter

3/4 cup flour

3/4 cup granulated sugar

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
Mix Mix Mid

dash salt

1/2 cup evaporated milk

2 cups fresh blackberries

2 tablespoons brown sugar

Preparation:
Preheat oven to 325°. Melt butter in an 8-inch square baking dish in the preheated oven. Combinsprinkle blackberries e flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and milk in a small bowl and beat until smooth. Pour batter over the melted butter, top with the blackberries, then sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the fruit. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until browned.

It worked out very well. Golden bubbly. I think when I maA little brown sugarke this again, with black or raspberries, I would suger dust the berries, prior to baking. Other than that, it was perfect.

 

I served it, on my pretty, pretty plates, warm, with vanilla bean ice cream.

 

 

I love my plates. Have I mentioned that? Thank you so much to everyoneall done who participated in my Christmas Dream Come True.

 

 

Truly, it has meant the world to me.

My Most Favorite Treat

I am not sure when it started. One time, when I was feeling blue, and dissapointed with the world, my husband brought me home a treat to brighten my day, and I have been hooked every since.

Blueberries, lemon yogurt and almond granola. A treat for the diabetic at heart, that is a frozen concoction of delectable goodness.

I buy fatfree, sugar free lemon yogurt, and then add frozen blueberries, that don’t have any sugar added to them. (You have to watch that pretty closely) and sprinkle a very small amount of granola with slivered almonds on top, and it is amazingly good. I am so grateful for a treat that fills my sweet tooth!

I also love frozen dark cherries and vanilla yogurt, but at the cusp of my desire, it will always be lemon and blueberries!

Thanks Bozark, for the addiction! I LOVE it!
