Mother's Day Treats

It's farmers' market season again, and just in time for Mother's Day! That means I'm keeping busy this week baking goodies: butterfly and flower cookies, blueberry scones, coffee cakes, and blackberry cobblers. It really helps that I freeze extra fruit at the end of the season to use the next spring as we start up. Otherwise, it would be another month before I had any fruit pies to offer!

I'm wondering, should I make pocket pies this week (think homemade Pop-Tarts)? Should I do peanut butter cookies?

At least I don't have to make jam this week as well! That will come soon enough, however, especially as I'll pull last season's frozen strawberries and pears out and make fresh jam.

On a personal food note, I can't wait until we have some decent fresh veggies in the garden! We'll have lettuce this weekend, and hopefully broccoli in a week or two, but I'm definitely getting antsy! I've been cutting some fresh asparagus, but the family is burning out on that a bit. Oh well!
