Raspberry Love – Find out how Raspberries were a big part of my week

When I find something I love (and my family loves) I go a little crazy and find different ways we can enjoy it.
For me I obsessed a little over Raspberries and I think I had every right too.  Fresh Raspberries are normally close to $8 per 250 grams and frozen Raspberries are over $5 a box so they are not a weekly food item.  It all started when I was browsing the weekly food catalogues for specials and saw that Frozen Raspberries were 1/2 price, what a bargain at $2.72 a box.
Mr 3.5 was then playing Monkey Preschool Lunchbox on my IPhone and said that there were Raspberries on there and asked if we had Raspberries (I had actually just bought them that day) so I said “yes I do, but they are frozen and will be very cold, would you like to try them?”. He said “yes” so off to the freezer we went and place some in a cup for him to eat.  He loved them. he loved them so much that he asked for the for breakfast in the morning, so I served some with his Vegemite toast and “I had one happy full little Vegemite”.
I enjoyed them myself that morning on my Porridge and they were a perfect contrast to the warm porridge.

I then set about making two sweet recipes for us to enjoy, links to the recipes can be found here:

And, just when I thought I was a raspberried (if that is even a word) out for the week I received a surprise delivery from Method (and if you follow me regularly you will know that method literally changed my life, you can read my story here).
I had been sent four of their new Foaming Hand Wash and one was the colour of Raspberries (I thought so anyway). It was a lovely way to finish off a week filled with Raspberries.

How do you enjoy Raspberries?

NB: This is not a sponsored post, I just wanted to share my Raspberry Love from the week.

    Oooh, that hand wash looks delicious Amanda. I’ve got to say raspberry and chocolate are my favourite combination, white or dark.
