Blackberry Milk

 Growing up, come blackberry season, we kids would scavenge acres and acres of fields in town and yards picking wild blackberries. We would always turn them in to be made into cobbler, but my favorite blackberry delicacy was blackberry milk. It involved mushing up a handful of berries in the bottom of a mug, muddled with a teaspoon or two of sugar then filled to the brim w ice cold milk and stirred to a purple perfection.

I saw this recipe online and I'm hopeful it might have a similar taste- which would make blackberry milk available year round! But, nothing beats the original!

Ingredients:

Blackberry Juice

Coconut milk

Freeze Dried blackberries

Ice

\Directions:

Add a handful of freeze dried berries to bottom of pitcher

Pour pitcher 3/4 full w juice

Pour generous splash of coconut milk

Fill pitcher w ice, stir, and serve garnished w more blackberries

Creamy Chicken Pot Pie (No peas or Carrots 😳)

Creamy Chicken Pot Pie *Makes 1-3 Pies* I love a good chicken pot pie. Traditionally they aren’t particularly creamy and they usually involve a bag of frozen peas & carrot mix. However, Julie doesn’t eat either so I subbed the two veggies she does eat - green beans and corn. You can use fresh or frozen veggies. I used the the steamer bags that came with garlic butter in the bag and I used fresh local corn cobs, boiled with kernels cut. They are crisp and sweet! I added cream and cream cheese to the filling to make it extra savory for my picky eaters! I usually make & bake 1 pie, and freeze the rest of the filling for another day in a freezer bag Ingredients: (1) Rotisserie chicken picked and chopped. Place in large bowl. (1) bag green bean steamer bag w seasoning - cooked and chopped (1) bag little potatoes steamer bag w seasoning cooked and chopped (1) Vidalia onion chopped (1) yellow bell pepper chopped (2) stalks celery chopped (2) cloves garlic chopped (1) Handful fresh pou...
