I know I’m a dietitian but I have to confess… In college my go to breakfast every morning was a Starbucks grande cinnamon dulce latte with soy milk, an extra shot of espresso and one lemon loaf cake. #whitegirl #ASU #sundevil4life Going to Starbucks was a ritual my father and I shared ever since middle school. Every morning, we would get in line, order our drinks, get a pastry and then he would drive me to school. Now that I’m married and based off society standards, an official adult, I realize how expensive certain things are and I genuinely believe I can prepare better coffee and tasty treats at home on my own.

Raspberry Jam
Making jam has been around for centuries and something I personally have only recently started to try out. This raspberry jam recipe is so simple and uses basic ingredients with fresh raspberries, lime juice and sugar. There’s no additional pectin required because the raspberries contain a natural form of pectin which helps solidify the jam. This recipe makes enough jam to fill 1 small 16 oz mason jar. It only lasts about one month but you can utilize it in many different ways. You can add 1 tsp of jam to plain Greek yogurt for a light snack, pair it with brie and crackers for a fancy appetizer, mix it with your favorite dessert such as my Lemon Loaf Cake with Raspberry Swirl for a delightful treat or naturally spread it on toast with butter. Give it a try and let me know your thoughts in the comments below!
