I love raspberries! I can't wait to pick my own from my raspberry bushes or even head over to the "u pick" berry farm on the way back from camping. But since I haven't gone camping yet this season and my berry plants haven't produced fruit (I'll be luck if they do!)...I'll have to settle on the grocery store. Luckily, these ruby gems are in season and have been on sale for the past week! A dollar for 170g, isn't too bad! Plus, with the 50¢ coupons from Driscoll's...it's a steal! Other than smoothies, I decided to bake some into scones. mMmm, I just love myself a cup of black tea and scones.
The plan was to make white chocolate raspberry scones, but I don't have white chocolate. :( Semi sweet chips did just fine though! These were delicious and not all that bad for you...hehehe.
