If you are like me you usually have frozen fruit in your freezer for smoothies or muffins or fresh juices. I love making date squares (see earlier post) and today I tried using raspberries in a baking dish. The key is to have small size ramekin dishes (4-6) to serve individual servings. You could use a larger size casserole dish but I find sometimes you miss out on the mixing of the raspberry filling and buttery crumble taste.

In my 💛 I know growing a vegetable or flower garden can bring you joy. In my 💛 I feel my first attempt at a sunflower garden was a success.

I can not believe it is already November. I feel like I blinked and missed the first 10 months of the year. Someone once told me as you age time is of the essence and now I know what that means.
