As summer starts to wind down, I can't help but think about the impending winter and how dreadful it will be without the glorious berries and warm weather vegetables that I have grown accustomed to. All I can do now is enjoy every last morsel so that is exactly what I plan to do. This past Sunday, I collected wild raspberries along the train tracks. They were tiny, delicate and juicy...nothing like the mushy behemoths from the grocery store. I paired the delectable little berries with chocolate zucchini cupcakes that were the best use of my vegetable bounty to date. (thank you 101 Cookbooks) Maybe I can find a way to make brussel sprouts and root vegetables as delicious as the spoils of summer. Wish me luck.

Isn't foraging fun!
ReplyDeleteI love the dark rich brown with the jewel raspberry red and the crisp light.
Hmmm, brussel sprouts...... I can't bear to think about it.
