Double Berry Crisp
A few weekends ago we had some strawberry and blueberries that needed to be eaten so what better way to use them than in a crisp. I turned to the forgotten allrecipes.com and found this recipe.

Strawberry & White Chocolate Brownies
A few months ago I was flipping through the channels and came across one of Giada De Laurentiis’ shows. She was making a super easy dessert that I decided to make for a baby shower at work. What You Need: -1 box brownie mix and mixing ingredients (egg, water, vegtable oil) -1 bag white chocolate chips -1 small jar all natural strawberry jam What to Do: 1.
