I don't think I have to convince anyone how good coffee cake always seems to taste. Whether you eat it in the morning with coffee or in the afternoon with hot tea....it's just always so dang good! This recipe is no exception. It was our little treat today.
Anytime I'm at Costco and they have great looking berries, I grab them and throw them in the freezer for when inspiration hits. Why buy a coffee cake when they are so easy to make? I threw this one together while I was getting the boy's breakfasts made and making their lunches for school. I am the ultimate multitasker.
Anyway, next time you see some beautiful raspberries, pick them up and give this a whirl. No mixer needed!
"The BBQ oysters were inspired by cookouts I’d have down in New Orleans. My friends and I would pull oysters out of the Gulf, crack them open and throw them on beach fires, and add all kinds of different sauces. Then, when I brought the recipe up to New York, I also was making this BBQ bacon sandwich. I thought, these two would be great together, so I combined the BBQ with the bacon and with the oysters." - Chef Paul Gerard, Exchange Alley, NYC

Well here we are at the last day of our 31 Days Of Pie. I won’t bother with a count, but I’m sure there were dozens of eggs, pounds and pounds of butter, endless calories, and tons of wonderfully sweet moments throughout the month. I don’t know about you, but I’m beyond excited to ring in 2015 and see all the wonderful things it will bring. I saved this pie for last because I think it’s one of the most beautiful pies I’ve ever seen thanks to 
If you are looking for an easy way to serve a crowd potatoes this summer, you should try this. These sports bar-inspired creations are roasted instead of deep fried (like the loaded potato skins) and come out tasting great.
