Easy Blackberry Dumplings

We have what I originally thought were blackberry bushes growing here and there along our property. I've been finding new bushes these last few weeks while out walking Butters. I've been checking them every day and waiting for them to ripen. I have even been careful not to run over them with the lawn mower and have been hoping that the animals do not get to them before I do. Well, I finally picked some that were ripe (ripe by my standards anyway), and it turns out that they are actually DEWBERRIES, which are related and very similar to blackberries, just not as big. I was upset at first (why is my life a lie?!) because I had this recipe planned since I first saw the berries. But hey, I made it work. I just added the dewberries together with some blackberries and TA-DA! It was delicious, and no one would have known the difference if I hadn't told them (ok, maybe they told me, but that's beside the point). Anyway, if you do not have any wild dewberries on hand, just use blackberries, ok? That is what the recipe calls for anyway....😉 Have fun!

Cream Cheese Teddy Graham Dip

Hey y'all! This is a sweet and yummy treat that I have made several times before. I found the recipe a few years ago in a sale paper at a local grocery store. It is SUPER easy....and has cream cheese! The hardest part is putting it in the refrigerator to give it time to cool and harden. This time I did not have any mini chocolate chips on hand, so I used regular sized chips, and they worked just fine! Also, I couldn't decide on which Teddy Grahams to use, so I bought two different kinds for dipping. This would be a great dessert for kids of all ages, or even those of us who are just kids at heart. 💗 🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻 Recipe from: CV's sale paper Total Time: 10 minutes Servings: about 10 Cream Cheese Teddy Graham Dip Ingredients: 8 oz. package of cream cheese 1/2 cup of butter, softened 3/4 cup of powdered sugar 2 tablespoons of brown sugar 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract 1 cup of mini semi-sweet chocolate chips Box of Teddy Grahams of your

Mocha Punch

Hey y'all! This punch can be customized with any coffee and chocolate ice-cream of your choosing. The original recipe did not call for whipped cream and chocolate sprinkles to be added, but I saw where someone commented that they did this, so I decided to try it. I must say that the punch was awesome by itself, but adding the toppings make it even better! It was soooooo creamy. Plus, who doesn't like chocolate sprinkles? If you have any left over you can even store it in an airtight container in your refrigerator and save for later! I just had a cup of what we had left, and it is still delicious even after the ice-cream has completely melted. This Mocha Punch would be great for a bridal shower, baby shower, birthday party, or even to celebrate the end of the school year! 😉 Enjoy! 🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈 Recipe from: "Allrecipes.com" Servings: around 20 small cups Mocha Punch Ingredients: 4 cups of brewed coffee of your choice 1/4 cup of su
