Today's harvest

Small but very tasty harvest today.  Needless to say, what you see pictured is not the total harvest.  Half the fun was eating sun warmed raspberries and sweet pea pods directly from the garden.  One of the many benefits of no pesticides.  :)
 After the in garden eating, there were 9 oz. of raspberries that will be part of tomorrows breakfast.
Only 2 1/2 oz. of pea pods made it to the picture.  Lauren wanted to fire up the grill and cook them.  She loves to eat them grilled.  I always tend to eat them before they can be cooked.

Seeing your raspberries reminded me - check out The Pioneer Woman's cooking blog post today. French Toast with Berry Butter. I have some fresh raspberries that I plan to make into that compound butter. So many great uses for something so wonderful!

Katie, I am always glad to provide you with reminders of the Midwest. :)
Tammy, I will have to do that. Thanks for the heads up. Lauren will love to try that. She has already made her version of a reduction with raspberries to use as a spread.
Sage Butterfly, thanks for stopping by and wishes for a good weekend to you as well!
