tasty summer

i love summer fruits and berries! i am looking forward to the farmers market just a mile away from us starting soon. unfortunately its only once a week, but that is better than none at all!

yesterday while at fred meyer i saw some organic strawberries for a good deal. none of them looked mushy or moldy. i was very excited about that. in the past i have usually had to throw away several from each container. these were by far the BEST strawberries that i have EVER tasted! not one did i have to throw away! i put them on top of my chocolately dessert (which i will list the ingredients for below) and for breakfast with blueberries and yogurt and granola! furthermore it was 85 or something like that yesterday! felt like summer finally! summer is coming and all of its perks with it!

1/4 cup Lowfat ricotta cheese
2 tbsp Mild honey
2 tbsp Cocoa powder
1/2 tsp Vanilla
1/2 tsp Ground cinnamon

 the actual recipe called for 1/2 cup ricotta, but i like mine a little more flavorful so i ditched some of the cheese. it is so good. it doesnt like a big enough helping, but it really hits the spot and it so rich. i would refrigerate it for an hour or so to make it nice and cold before you eat it.

isnt this beautiful? this is our back yard.  we live at the corner of the housing development so this brick wall is the back of the sign for the development. our landlord has someone do the yard for us so it looks nice. i LOVE the big trees behind us, it is so nice to look at all day long. i feel like we are out in the woods, but we are only a half mile from a main road. so GREEN!
Mothers day was lovely. both justins mom and mine are in california ( not together) so we spend the day with our own children. i went to church by myself (which was wonderful. dahlia and valen have been sick so i didnt want to take them ) and then went shopping for some clothes. when i got home justin had the kitchen spotless and a gift for me on the counter. so sweet. and dahlia told me happy mothers day. she said
"appie mommy day"
