Toronto's Evergreen Brick Works

Spent the morning at Toronto's Evergreen Brick Works. Lots to be thankful for:)
Happy Thanksgiving Weekend.

Ontario Farm Fresh Strawberries ♥

Nothing better then fresh picked strawberries from Linton's Farm Market. Hello Summer.

What to do with buckets of fresh picked strawberries? If you're The Cupcake Girl you make the perfect Strawberry Cupcake with Swiss Meringue Buttercream icing (Martha Stewart).

Farm fresh! Ontario Raspberries

We go to Linton's Farm Market about once a week, sometimes twice. This week we picked our own Raspberries. When we got home we googled 'cookies with raspberries' and found this amazing recipe for Chocolate Raspberry Cookies. I made one small change. I doubled the amount of raspberries that the recipe called for (because I could:). They were delicious!!!
Farm Fresh. Nothing better.

My Perfect Birthday Breakfast

What to do with lots of fresh picked Ontario Strawberries?...
Crumbles/Cobblers (of any kind) are one of my favourite desserts. My perfect Crumble is served cold, with not too much sugar in the fruit (tart is good) and a little extra crumble on top (to counter the tart).
This Strawberry Rhubarb Crumble recipe is from Closet Cooking. I put my stamp on it by adding 1/2 more of the crumble stuff then what was called for:)
Served first thing in the morning with a freshly brewed cup of coffee and you've got yourself a breakfast for Champions or even better (since today is my birthday) the perfect Birthday Breakfast!
The real celebrations begin with a dinner, tomorrow night, in New York City. That's right NYC. Why NYC? because it's MY Birthday;)

Farm fresh! Ontario Strawberries

 

There's nothing better then getting your fruit and vegetables fresh from the farm. And it's especially fun when you can pick your own. Linton's Farm Market, our go to farm, is open everyday until the end of October. If you're in the Durham (Ontario) area it's well worth a visit!

Durham Farm Fresh is a great site with a list of local farms selling their goods (at their farms).

Farm Fresh. Nothing better.
