A berry big problem

My name is Stepfanie, and I'm a berry-holic. I've been eating berries all summer (not always local or organic ones, I must add). It started simple enough: A pint of blueberries to go with my morning yogurt. Soon I was snacking on them every day, a pint every couple of days. Blueberries became a gateway berry; I've added raspberries and now blackberries to the mix.
On yogurt, as a snack, in baked goods. I've even made banana-zucchini-blueberry bread. I've made my Gramma Willie's blueberry buckle, and I've frozen them for something different.
I've mostly stayed away from the biggest berry of all, strawberries, though I've dabbled a bit.
I just can't resist the antioxidants, the fiber, the vitamin C! I'm addicted, and I don't want to stop.
(As I write this, two fingers on each hand are slightly magenta.)
I'm sure I'm not alone in my addiction: Summer produce is just too irresistible! What summer fruit or vegetable is your addiction?

Mangoes. I had never eaten a mango until my early 20's, but I've quickly made up for all the years that we were apart. Homemade mango ice cream, mango tarte tatin, chopped up mango with a little bit of lime juice on top, mango salsa, mango preserves with cheese...you get the idea. They were a dollar a piece last week at Biggs and I stocked up.

Are you a sushi fan? If you are, you MUST try the mango spicy tuna roll at Kyoto. (http://www.kyotosushibar.com/)
I'm not usually one for crazy sushi rolls, but this is the perfect combination! My friend Bri turned me on to this delectable roll. Yum!

Thanks for the tip! I've never been to Kyoto, but now I'm going to have to check it out.

Black Cherries. A girl I work with brought some in one day and now I can't stop. On the weekends I find myself on auto-pilot heading down to Findlay Market to pick up a few pints.

Admitting you have a problem is the first step, right?

Nectarines and black cherries. Shannan and I might have the same dealer...

Rainier cherries by the pound, like eating candy. Followed by the black cherries. I eat freeze-dried blueberries (www.justtomatoes.com) on my breakfast yogurt (nuts too) all year long. Oh, the flossing.
