I had a taste for some type of pie dessert, but I decided I didn’t want to make a traditional pie. It just so happened that I had multiple blackberry flavored items in stock, and came up with these triple blackberry pie pastries.
These are kind of like single serving pies, and they are pretty easy to make. They just need to be put together and popped in the oven. When they are just about cool enough to eat, you can quickly make the chocolate blackberry drizzle.
So last time I went grocery shopping, I had purchased a bag of lemons. They weren’t on my list, but I had a strong desire to use them. And today just happened to be really hot, so I thought this would be an excellent day to make lemonade.
The other day I was making my husband a vegetarian wrap for work, and I decided that he should have a salad to go with it. I ended up coming up with this Blueberry Ricotta Salad.
This salad was inspired by the ingredients I had on hand that morning, which happened to be blueberries, almonds, coconut flakes, ricotta cheese, and lettuce. I also made a simple vinaigrette to go with it.
This recipe was a happy accident. My husband had asked me to make my double chocolate strawberry cookies that I had made before, and they ended turning into double chocolate raspberry cookies instead.
