You've heard it, some of us have even experienced it but, the strange thing is how much you are reminded of it once again as soon as you taste fresh veggies and fruit. We've been eating stuff from the garden pretty regularly lately but, once again I was reminded of just how awesome fresh can taste.
It started off early on Sunday Morning, My MIL, wife, and I headed out to some county land to pick some wild black berries.

I know, how could I possibly suffer to live in a place like this. :heh:
My wife went digging for recipes online when we got back and found one for a cobbler with a crisp topping but, she also found one for a pie as well, unfortunately we didn't quite have enough for either so, our oldest, my wife, and I headed back out to do some more picking.

We managed to find a hidden honey hole of black berries and scored way more than enough blackberries for both desserts! (I've been sworn to secrecy in regard to this spots location under threat of possible death or worst, "holding out". :shock: )
When we got back home we headed out to the garden to see what else we could find to go with the Pork Steaks we planned to have for dinner. There was yet another zucchini ready and the potatoes were begging to be rooted up.

I slow cooked the pork steak, made mashed tater with our red eyed yukon taters, and fried up the zucchini parmaseana style.

Mean while my wife made up the Blackberry cobbler.

and Blackberry Graham cracker crust marshmellow pie.

Both of these desserts were completely different but absolutely rocked. And I couldn't help but to think to myself, as I ate the fresh from the garden mashed potatoes and the fresh picked blackberry treats, fresh really does taste the best.
Thanks for looking!
P.S. The Pork Steaks were done up with some Pig Pollen and were absolutely delicious.
