    Even though my kiddos are back in school, it's still summertime, which means plenty of inexpensive berries at the grocery store. At our house we go through about 5-pints of berries each week at a minimum, we love them all! I love baking with berries too, like the Berry Buttermilk Cake I'm sharing with you today. This is a light, fluffy, and slightly tangy cake perfect for enjoying with a cup of coffee (it's fruit so it can be breakfast!)

    I love this recipe because it whips together quickly, but it also bakes up so beautifully, it's perfect for taking to gatherings or making when you're entertaining. It looks so elegant with the different colored berries and the crystallized sugar sprinkled over the top. If you want to make it extra special, it's delicious warm topped with vanilla ice cream or cool with whipped cream. {swoon}

    (For those on tracking SmartPoints on Weight Watchers Freestyle like me, this one is a splurge at 13 points. But it's so delicious it's worth it every now and then!)
