One of Mother Nature's best gifts to us all are the fruits of Summer. Not only are they best in the warmer months, they finally become affordable (though I am still waiting for the prices to come down in Chicago.) Fresh juicy berries are a treasure. I've rounded up some of the best berry recipes around. Think sweet, savory, and over the top!

Raise your drink and rest your glass! These chic coasters make cocktail hour a little bit more delicious! Cheers.
Strawberry Ripple Almond Cheesecake
Made with Almond milk, this is a very unique recipe. The base of the cake is made from raw almonds, coconut, and dates. It's made with strawberries, but you can easily interchange any kind of berry.
Blueberry Quinoa Salad
I have only had Quinoa once. I didn't care for the way it was prepared, and just haven't tried it again. This beautiful salad may just be the 2nd time for me. I mean, balsamic, hazelnuts and blueberries would make anything taste good!

Add a little country charm to your Summer kitchen. These make a lovely hostess gift, too.

Caprese Salad is one of my favorite Summertime treats, until I found this recipe. Oh my, doesn't this look fabulous? Balsamic on strawberries is always a taste sensation. Why not add cheese?

Get ready for oohs and ahhhs when serving this decadent dish. Best yet, it is easy to make and there is no baking involved. This one just makes me smile.

Because a well balanced breakfast should include a healthy dose of powdered sugar and the perfect plop of whipped cream!
