Your photography is wonderful and so is your blog! You are a pro! (BTS class also)
Hope you are enjoying the class as much as I am. Great to hear from you Jana
Ev! This is sooooo gorgeous! Wow, what beautiful imagery! The gorgonzola cheese with those berries has me drooling! Yum!
Rhubarb Berry Compote is one of my favourite ways to use rhubarb because you can do so many things with it, including freezing it. I put it on my Cheerios in the morning, mix it with yogurt or cottage cheese for an afternoon snack, add it to smoothies, use it as a topping for ice cream and, I ve even been known to use it on a peanut butter sandwich instead of jam.
