I happen to love cheese, so discovering that there was an actual day to celebrate it just puts a smile on my face. In reading “The 50 Best Cheese Recipes From the 50 Best United States” I found this “Oregon’s Best Marionberry Pie” recipe. This article has a cheese recipe for each state and this was Oregon’s recipe, so I had to try it. I substituted blackberries that I had picked in Hells Canyon in lieu of marionberries for my pie. This was one delicious pie! I never would of dreamed of adding cream cheese to a pie, but this totally works. This is an easy recipe to make ral Path Health S er lo ca tio ces vi Na tu ne w Dr. Carol McIntyre Naturopathic & Chinese Medicine 503.429.3928 cccmnd@yahoo.com naturalpathhealthservices.com 758 Weed Avenue Vernonia, OR, 97064 n! and definitely a keeper. You can find more information about National Cheese Lover’s Day and the 50 Best Cheese Recipes From The 50 Best States at Cheeserank.com. To keep in theme with Oregon cheese recipes I have included this “Blueberry Croissant Pudding” dish. I had to make it twice because it was eaten so quickly I did not get a picture of the first batch. This was another super easy dessert to make. You can put it together ahead of time then bake the next day. This reminded me very much of an English bread pudding dessert that my husband loves. The recipe calls for crescent rolls (baked) but you could use any bread, another fabulous find. Have a great month folks and please keep me in the know on what you are cooking.
