Berry Week: Our Top 4 Berry Recipes

Scarlett has been doing a lot of talking lately about going strawberry picking. She remembers the local farmer who lives down the way from our cottage who swore up and down last year that we could come berry picking. Each morning, our neighbors swing by his farm on the way home from their early bike rides. By the time I stumble over with my coffee for a visit, there is the most gorgeous looking bowl of berries on their deck. I have to take him up on his offer soon. I just hope the guy recalls what he said because we’re coming and Scarlett has a big basket.
