Red, Rye, & Blue Berry Toast!

By Erin

Red, Rye, & Blue! Just in time for Memorial Day Weekend, here is a fun treat to make for breakfast or as a snack. Very patriotic looking for all the summer holidays coming up. Using berries from Melissa’s Produce make this extra sweet! And don’t forget to take a few moments this weekend to honor our fallen soldiers who paid the ultimate price for our great country!

Red, Rye, and Blue Berry Toast

Ingredients for Red, Rye & Blue Berry Toast

1 cup of your favorite fruit (strawberries, Blueberries, Pomegranates or raspberries from Melissa’s Produce all work well)

1 Tablespoon (or more) of hazelnut chocolate spread. You can never have enough hazelnut chocolate spread! At least in my opinion. Ha 😉

2-3 pieces of sturdy bread (Rye bread works very well)

Icing sugar for décor – optional

Directions

  1. Toast the bread if desired. 
  2. Spread the hazelnut chocolate spread on bread evenly.
  3. Place fruit on top of bread. You can get as creative as you want. The more fruit the merrier! Or should I say berrier?
  4. Enjoy!

What are some of your favorite treats to have over these patriotic holidays? Make sure to stock up on all of your fresh berries and produce from Melissa’s Produce and check out their Pantry boxes too!

By Erin

Are you ready for Valentine’s Day? Melissa’s Produce has some perfect gift baskets for Valentine’s day, like this “For My Love” Basket ($96.79).

Melissa's Produce For My Love Wine Basket Wine Fruit

I am partnering with Melissa’s Produce to giveaway one of these special baskets to one of our readers to show our love and appreciation for all of you! Will you be our Valentine? 😉 

Melissa's Produce Fruit & Wine Gift Basket Giveaway
Giving your loved one a beautifully wrapped basketful of Melissa’s premium Butterscotch Pears combined with decadent Chocolate Toffee Almonds and Chocolate Bridge Mix, and finally a bottle of sparkling 2013 Schramsberg Blanc de Blanc, you will surely win their heart.

Schramsberg Blanc de Blanc was the first wine Schramsberg produced in 1965 and was America’s first commercially produced Chardonnay-based brut sparkling wine. It gained international recognition in 1972 when then President Nixon served the wine at the historic “Toast to Peace” in Beijing, China.

The Schramsberg style of Blanc de Blancs is dry and crisp. Small lots of malolactic- and barrel-fermented wines are added for complexity. With its vibrant, fruitful and crisp nature, this sparkling wine will maintain its freshness, structure and refined finish for many years, even decades following its initial release.

“The 2013 Blanc de Blancs has bright and fresh aromas of grapefruit, mango, apricot, lemon, and white peach. The fruitful fragrance intermingles with hints of fresh bread, vanilla cream pie, and rose petals. Freshly sliced Gravenstein apples, zesty citrus, and bright pineapple flavors carry vibrant length on the palate.” – Winemakers Keith Hock and Hugh Davies.

Deliciously paired with Melissa’s premium Butterscotch Pears and combined with decadent Chocolate Toffee Almonds and a Chocolate Bridge Mix, you can’t go wrong with this winning combo for you and your Valentine to share!
