Summer must be our favorite season for fresh produce. While we are definitely missing our garden and fresh berries this summer, we have had great access to fresh and local fruits and veggies at the farmer’s markets here in town. I do really miss having blueberries in our yard though. Luckily, between the farmer’s markets and Justin’s mom’s garden we have plenty! They are the perfect topper for this fabulous dessert!
Aside from simply loving mason jars and trying to put just about everything and anything I can in them, this one was meant to be. I mean, it is basically perfect. With this berry lemon shortcake cut up into bite sized chunks and the strawberries baked right in, you get a bite with all of the goodies each and every time. No need to save the best bite for last (do you do that, too?!). Just dive right into this berry lemon shortcake and enjoy the best bite. Every. Single. Bite. Plus, you get a little red, white, and blue in each bite! Could you even be more patriotic!?
What else are you enjoying for the 4th of July? We have been queuing you up with recipes to enjoy at all of your summer cookouts and barbecues. How about a little summer citrus salad, some strawberry basil watermelon agua frescas, lamb burgers with rosemary pesto sauce, Paleo pancakes, plantain fries, our Paleo steak marinade and Paleo apple crisp?! There are really so many options and ways to enjoy the best flavors of summer. Get in on the fun already, and make this a 4th of July to remember!
