{Sweet Things:: Berry Pies & Babies}

Who likes pie and babies? We do!!

Today the pies came first{for caroling tonight} then on to visiting the babies!{second time for me but Arabella & Orrin didn't get to meet them last night as they were still in the nursery}

The berries waiting to doused in Creme sauce

Thought I would share my chicken scratch of recipe card

My Mom & I made this recipe up to imitate the good Boysenberry Sour cream pie of the now closed Vella Farms in Modesto,CA

*** WARNING I am not a recipe follower

I just make what strikes me at the moment so if your pie doesn't look like mine do not despair

Heavy Cream, SUGAR, Creme Fraiche

When ever I get to Trader Joe's{one of my all time fav. stores} I like to pick up this delish Creme Fraiche. I put it in this pie or soups, sauces or whatever strikes me at the time...yummy,yum!

My constant little shadow helping stir






The best part being pour over the berries

I want to enjoy some now with my coffee

Good thing my pies seem to always have extra filling to "try out" some!

Don't mind the smudges on the spoon, little Bella hands and mouth had to have some also


NOW ON TO BABIES--MUCH SWEETER than PIE

For those of you who haven't heard the news

Last evening I became an auntie to not two but THREE babies!

Our God surprised Thane's family { doctors and hospital too!} We had been praying for two babies to come safely into this world but he went ahead and gave an extra blessing of another one!
