Hi Chris... we tried the Ridiculously Easy Summer Berry Crisp. It IS so easy and amazingly delicious. We loved the almond flour in the crisp...great flavor and nice and crunchy. So delicious that we have already made it again. Thanks for all your great recipes!
Thanks, Catherine! So happy you enjoyed it. That’s one of our favorites too!
The Dessert Bars were a huge hit here! (funny how we all started with different recipes!). But... one question...where did you get those adorable glasses that you served the Irish Blackberry Fool In?
Hi Marilyn, so happy you enjoyed the bars!
The glass jars in the Blackberry Fool pictures are made by Weck. I got mine in England. For some reason, they're hard to find here in the U.S. although I also like this style which is available on Amazon: https://amzn.to/301h0fT
