When a neighbor hands you raspberries, make raspberry tahini toast!
Our neighbor couple has a spot in a community garden, and they always kindly bring us goodies from their garden.
These raspberries are so sweet.
There is something about non-commercial produce.
They seem to have more intense flavors compared to those found at grocery stores.
I also liked these raspberries because for some reason I didn’t mind their seeds; I sometimes avoid raspberries simply because of their seeds.
Maybe these raspberries have smaller seeds?!
The inspiration initially came from “Hmmmm, I want a raspberry dessert”, and “Maybe I’ll make a raspberry cheesecake”, then “Hmmm, how about a toast with cream cheese and raspberries”, and I really liked the idea, but then I thought “How about I’ll make raspberry toast, but keep it vegan!”
Voila!
The combination of tahini and raspberries may sound strange to some of you, but I liked it!
When you stop reaching for butter or cheese too quickly, you realize there are so many other wonderful options.
