Happy Monday after Easter everyone! Let’s celebrate this great occasion by talking about an amazing new cookbook by a fellow blogger that I’m obsessed with, both her and this beautiful book. Sweeter Off the Vine by Yossy Arefi is a must have for anyone and everyone who loves fruit desserts. It’s broken up by season and by fruit, making it easy for you to pick what to make at any given time of the year. And even if you’re not much of a baker, these recipes are easy enough to make you feel like a boss in the kitchen. The photos alone will make you want to eat and make everything inside of it. As soon as I got the book last week, I bookmarked practically every recipe that I was dying to try out. I took a trip to the grocery store this past weekend, and the strawberries were calling out to me. I’m fortunate enough to live in California where there are strawberries pretty much all year round, but in early spring like right now, they’re out of this world. So I grabbed a few boxes and came up with a game plan. The one recipe that kept sticking out to me from the book is the Blueberry Skillet Cobbler with Whole Wheat Biscuits, but since blueberries aren’t in season at the moment, and since Yossy suggests in the notes of the recipe that you can try it with strawberries as well, that’s what I did. I can’t wait to make the cobbler with blueberries once it’s the right time of year again. I’ve decided to give it a try each season, but with different fruit. Let’s see how that goes for me.
Because I’m obsessed with this cobbler, this book and giving away free things, I’ve decided it’s about time for another giveaway on the blog. It’s been too long since the last one. Plus, it’ll make my mamma really happy to be able to read all of your responses and pick a winner once again. So here we are, I’m giving away a copy of the book so that you can have one all to yourself. You know the drill, and just in case this is your first time at the rodeo, I’ll refresh your memory. You enter the giveaway be leaving a comment below, answering a question. The question this time around is “What is your favorite fruit or fruit dessert?” I want to hear all about your favorite fruit. Give me all the details, memories or stories you have regarding your answer. The more detailed the better. Not because it’ll up your chances (because the winner will be picked at random) but because I love reading your answers. You have until the end of the week to participate, and keep in mind that it’s one entry per person. I like to keep things fair. I’ll let the winner know through email, and update this post at the bottom with the lucky chosen one. May the odds be in your favor and may you win. Good luck. I’m rooting for you!
