Avocado, berries, and cake.

As the title suggests.. this post has a few themes. The garden is full of delicious fresh raspberries, every day I go out and pick a huge bowl (larger than the one pictured here):



So good. On top of VwaV "fronch toast" and nutriwhip..



Freshly made spinach pasta from Delucas, with pesto and avocado..



My favourite thing to snack on lately, a bowl of guacamole with multigrain waffle pretzels. Simple but satisfying.



I baked some cakes for Matt's parents' wedding this weekend, though not traditional "wedding" cakes..



Raspeberry Blackout Cake (VwaV) - every bit as delicious as I had hoped it to be.



Due to the surplus of fruit in my house, I also made an almond trifle. Some of you might remember the last trifle I made, this was similar but with (obviously) an infusion of almond, and different fruit - strawberries, cherries, raspberry, blueberries, mango, and nectarines.



Even the hardest-to-please omnivores enjoyed it.. I can't complain about that.

Hello Ms I-Cook-Without-Pants,

I just found your foody blog through a Google blog search. I'm writing because I've just started a recipe/food community blogging network designed to increase readers who are interested in recipes and food and also give you the opportunity to make some money off your blog.

I'd love for some more committed bloggers to try it out… Some of the existing bloggers are already having some great successes with it!

Check it out if you've got a moment... It's pretty cool and WAY nicer-looking than blogspot.
