Birthday Berries and Two Loaves of Happieness

For my daughter's first birthday we had a berry picking party. It was a beautiful day and we came home with multiple pounds of strawberries. After freezing some I decided to make a strawberry pie with the remainder. This was the first time I ever made a berry pie by myself. I have fond memories of picking berries at our family farm as a kid and "helping" my mom and grandma make pies.









When pie is in the house it only makes sense to eat it for breakfast.














I firmly believe that happiness is two fresh loaves of bread. These are from a simple white bread recipe found in Better Homes and Gardens cookbook. We used the first loaf to make Grilled Cheese sandwiches for dinner that night. YUM!
