More than one of us is allergic to tree fruit, so berries, pineapple, kiwi, and citrus are our staples.
Berries are so very, very good for you too! Vitamins and fiber! They taste good in cereal, yogurt, salad, and just plain.
I eat a bowl of fruit every evening for dessert and it usually looks like this:
That dish there is blueberries, bananas, blackberries, pineapple, and kiwi (peeled because I'm a baby). Sometimes, my evening bowl has strawberries or raspberries or a drizzle of Hershey's syrup. It's on the couch because that's where I do my best eating, knitting, and laundry folding.
I love that Driscoll is offering organic berries now. Sometimes the price difference between their organic offerings and the regular fruit is negligible. Score!
The berry people at Driscoll's sent me a storybook and send coupons to use in berries a fun and delicious way.
First, the book. The Scary Blueberry (written by Jaden Shelton and illustrated by Livia Jovanovic) is about a boy who is afraid to try a blueberry. After his father points out all of the things he is not afraid of: pirates, aliens, monsters, etc, the boy tries tasting a blueberry.
But he doesn't like it.
He keeps trying them however, and eventually realizes they are delicious.
Jill enjoyed the book. She "reads" it to herself now because the minimal text matches the illustrations perfectly.
Now for the dish. We had some excellent French toast, made with Costco baguette. That baguette makes the best French toast. Jill had hers with syrup and blueberries.
Guess which part she liked best?
That mini glass of OJ is served in a votive candle holder, an idea I stole from my sister-in-law. Jill loves her tiny glasses.
Lastly, the fun part! Giveaway Time!
Driscoll sent me the book and some coupons for myself, and they have some coupons they want to send to one lucky reader! $15 worth of coupons!
One of those $3 coupons paid for one of those berry boxes. That means free berries! Sorry not sorry but the blackberries "accidentally fell into my mouth" before their photo op.
