This friend of ours is such a wonderful person who is always volunteering to help others and is well known for baking cookies to send to the troops overseas that we felt it was only appropriate to make some sweets for the lady who is always making treats for others.

To that end, Sophie made beautiful strawberry jam, I made a blueberry crumble pie and my husband served as the best sous chef we could have ever hoped for. For all the love that went into making these antioxidant rich, vitamin-packed fruity treats, I’m sure our good friend will be on the mend in no time!

Here are some shots of the pie:

We kicked off the occasion with a round of Bellinis (the peach nectar and Prosecco cocktail made famous at Harry’s Bar in Venice, Italy) and a toast to friendship. Today’s menu consisted of Savory Bread Pudding with Mushrooms and Pecorino Romano, Sausage Links and a Mixed Greens Salad with Balsamic Vinaigrette. My husband, the barista that he is, made the coffee and helped me with plating and attending to our guests. We all had a great time and the food and beverages were delicious!
