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.

We have a Farmers Market here too, though I have never really bought our fruit there, but we eat it all the time, so we should! I'll have to compare the prices and see if it is worth it or not :-) I can't wait for summer to really hit, to have Justus here and not to worry about being too active for fear I will go into false labor. yeah for after mid June! ...also congrats to your brother!!! His daughter looks beautiful!
