My in-laws gave me a wonderful gift basket for my birthday, filled with lots of yummy breakfast foods. I try very hard to eat healthy, but I have to admit to a weakness for jams. So I've been in breakfast heaven this week, sampling lots of different fruity spreads.
So far Raspberry Peach Champagne Jam is my favorite, but really they are all quite wonderful. :)
I've also been enjoying a bit of summer in February with these beautiful fresh raspberries. I have to admit that I bought them so that I could photograph them (how pathetic is that?!) but now I've been snacking on them. And that's healthy eating, right?
We're supposed to be getting a snow storm tonight into Saturday, so we're planning on sleeping in and making pancakes in the morning. With wild Maine blueberries, courtesy of my breakfast basket.
What's on the menu for breakfast at your house tomorrow? :)

ReplyDeleteThese raspberries look gorgeous on the white plate. Makes perfect sense to buy them for a photo shoot!!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite combination is raspberry and dark chocolate-yum!
Beautiful and healthy! Sweet dreams tomorrow morning;)
ReplyDeleteoh i love jam in the morning and a glimpse to your beautiful surroundings!
ReplyDeletetomorrow - no clue. the way everyone is talking, i am wondering if i can make it into dc on sunday.
ReplyDeleteyour raspberries look gorgeous and raspberries and peaches are always a great combo.
The raspberries are just beautiful on that pretty white plate, very Valentine! I too love great preserves, apricot is my weakness! Have a wonderful weekend...
ReplyDeleteI picked up red raspberries and put them back. If only I had thought of photographing them...
ReplyDeleteI just might have to go back and get some. We love them too.

wonderful reds...smiles.
ReplyDeleteI can't think of a better reason to buy rapsberries! They are qite photogenic!
ReplyDeleteOpps, didn't catch the typo. That should be quite not qite. My laptop has a terrible keyboard, I am forever missing letters!
ReplyDeleteYour photos are just beautiful! You turned raspberry jam into a work of art!
ReplyDeleteBest wishes,

Enjoy those raspberries Mary--they're good for you. I love that white bowl that they're in. It looks so familiar to me.
ReplyDeleteHealth experts say you should eat all your colors every day. So that should make for some fun picture taking as you eat your way through the rainbow. :-)
ReplyDeleteThey look absolutely delcious, I love fresh raspberries!
ReplyDeleteI would buy some too but I would probably be thinking more of eating than taking pictures! Your pictures make my mouth water. . .
I love that photo of the toast and jam... It also reminds me that I need to have breakfast! I might try making that combo sometime it sounds lovely! I must confess to buying red cabbage to photograph before... Hehehe...

I'm shamelessly going to promote our jellies. I have a store called The Rug Cottage in Iowa City Iowa. We have our own brand of fruit spreads that contain NO SUGAR!! They are sweetened with fruit juice. We have 14 flavors available including red raspberry, black raspberry and red raspberry rhubarb. Check out our web site www.rugcottage.com. We ship. I'm a new blogger. Our blog is rugcottage.blogspot.com for the Rug Cottage & iowabarntiques.blogspot.com for our antique mall. Our fruit spreads are fabulous... we have shipped them to all 50 states and England.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy your blog. There are so many creative people blogging... and you are one of them. I'm just trying to learn as I go along. Thanks for letting me promote our jelly.
Keep Warm,
Nancy
Oh Yummy! I bought a cranberry - jalpeno jelly at a craft fair this fall and it was so good. It didn't sound good and I bought it for my son-in-law who likes anything 'hot'. Enjoy your snowy weekend, there can be nothing better than to stay home on a cold snowy day.
ReplyDeleteOatmeal. Dull old oatmeal, but then I have no reason to celebrate since a big snowstorm is not coming my way. LOL! Enjoy the day, and, yes, the raspberries are wonderful and may I also suggest some Raspberry Zinger tea from Celestial Seasonings?
ReplyDeleteRaspberry jam! My favorite! And yes, raspberries are good for you! Enjoy1!
ReplyDeleteI enjoy your blog so much Mary and am inspired by your photos and love your commentaries.

OMGosh, it's pathetic to buy something just to photograph it? Damn, then.
ReplyDeleteNot gonna make me stop, though!
Pancakes sound good for breakfast tomorrow. And I love Stonewall Kitchen jams. Yum!
Oatmeal with frozen blackberries and homemade maple ice cream stirred in!
ReplyDeleteI love that jam :)
The jam sounds like just the thing for a snowy weekend. I bought milk so I'm thinking I'll have hot chocooate while I'm snowed in tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteNothing as good as you are having. Those raspberries would be long gone.. I can devour them in record time, and yes they are so good for you!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your snow, we are immune this time around.

I have fresh eggs and toast every morning, sometimes with a bit of bacon:>) Seeing this reminds me that I really need to bake some fresh bread for my toast, and we have some fancy jams in the pantry...maybe time to try some. The raspberries look gorgeous, and eating them makes buying them to photograph not so silly don't you think?
ReplyDeleteThat does look delicious. Stonewall Kitchen's flagship store is near my hometown. A wonderful place full of samples and recipes. If your ever on the southern Maine Coastal area it's near the Kittery Maine shopping outlets. Worth the ride on vacation. Enjoy
