Two-Ingredient Berry Toast Topping

There’s nothing better than the balance of sweet and savory on your plate. Try this berry toast topping the next time you’re looking for a quick breakfast or snack with fresh ingredients!

If you want to match the flavor of the toast pictured, use sourdough. This isn’t necessary though, as this topping tastes great on all sorts of toast types.

Ingredients

  • 3 medium/2 large strawberries
  • 8-10 blueberries
  • 1.5 tbsp. honey
  • 2 pieces of your toast of choice

Instructions

  1. Begin by rinsing the berries and removing stems when necessary.
  2. Grab a shallow dish or saucer and a fork to mash the berries. For strawberries, it is easier to cut the top off and push the fork straight down on the point of the berry. For blueberries, push straight down under the grated part of the fork and drag to tear the skin.
  3. Add 3/4 of a tbsp. of honey to the berries and mix into the mashed berry pulp.
  4. Spread on the toast using the back of the fork.
  5. Enjoy while the toast is still warm for the best experience!

This recipe is perfect for breakfast in a pinch and if you don’t have a large appetite in the morning. If you need more food to keep you feeling fueled until lunchtime, definitely put more on your plate.

Everyone’s breakfast looks different, but this can be your go-to pick whether you’re looking for simplicity or good taste!

There’s nothing better than completely transform There’s nothing better than completely transforming a space with a new garden…

This shady spot in the yard misses much of the direct sun in the surrounding beds and the grass has gotten choked out by English Ivy and roots from nearby shade trees. It’s also an awkward spot to mow when those few patches of grass grow too tall. So I opted for a shade garden instead.

The only problem with adding a new garden bed in is that it can get pricey, and quick. Factoring in the time, materials, and exhaustion—it doesn’t always seem worth it until you see the bigger picture coming together.

But I had a vision for this space. An area full of plants that would thrive in these conditions and eliminate the need for future tending. No more mowing and even taller, prettier plants to view in the meantime.

So that’s what I set out to do. It’s not done yet by any means, as one day the entire area should fill itself in, and maybe then we’ll mulch between the plants. But for now, I’m perfectly fine with watching and waiting for that day to come.

Truth is, life got a little overwhelming this past month. I’m finishing up my degree, taking my business into new territories and making mistakes to learn from along the way, and then there’s the blog. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not stoked to have missed posting for y’all this month, but I did need time to focus on other important things in my life.

That being said, I’ll be tying up some loose ends this week and you can expect to see big changes coming to the blog before Mother’s Day! 🙌

I don’t want to spoil too much for now but keep an eye out because you won’t want to miss this! 😁

The blue corn chips made it feel extra fancy 😎 but I’d also make room for some rice next time as this wasn’t enough to keep me full while working in the garden.
