Berried Treasure~

Welcome friends!

Now, doesn't this berry dessert 
look simply scrumptious?



Timmy made it at a library cooking class with a teacher
 from a local catering establishment/cooking school, Chef Rob.

And surprisingly, I can NOT find one reference online to Chef Rob, 
other than a
 class he gave about a year ago at a different library about 40 miles from my home!
Wish I could find a FB page or something to include here to at least credit him for this!

Well, here goes....
an easy, yummy and pleasing - to - the -  eye 
summery dessert 
for "just the family" or for  company~~

It is SO simple and fun to make with your littles.

We re-created it with both our kids in our own kitchen, 
since Chef Rob did give out the recipe after his class!

Enjoy! And be sure to leave a comment letting me know how it worked out for you!
