"I'm a Yankee Doodle Dandy"


"...Born on the 4th of July"



No. I was not born on the 4th of July, but my grandmother was. Because of that (and my mother's love for all things patriotic) we always have a big 4th of July celebration. It usually involves my father's famous Bar-B-Q, good desserts, fireworks, compliments of my brothers, and sometimes a trip to the lake to celebrate with the extended family.

My parents are wonderful gardeners and this year my mother is growing blackberry bushes. They have produced a-plenty and so the birthday dessert this year is blackberry cobbler!



Another favorite that takes advantage of summer fruit is Martha's Cheesecake Flag!
