Spring has finally sprung!

Although it's the end of Spring in Massachusetts, one would not know. After weeks of rain, we finally got some warmth. Well, spring to me is all about...berries! I got inspired while working from home to make a berry cake for my small group coming to our place tonight.

I used frozen instead of fresh but they came out just fine. Had to just dust them with some flour to take up the extra moisture. Got the recipe from my fave- smittenkitchen.

I'm a "pie-neer" woman!

So, if you didn't know, I suck at baking. Even though my wonderful husband likes to encourage me, I know I just don't do it as well as cooking. But last night and this morning I proved myself wrong. I made pie. Flaky-buttery-miss-your-mother pie. I made two pies in fact. The first ingredient was the all-butter crust from smittenkitchen.


The first pie was a strawberry and cream cheese pie from allrecipes.com.











The second was a lemon chess pie from phoo-d.com.











Now I look forward to many more!
