Roasted Turkey Salad with Apples & Blackberries

I have a favorite salad, which I changed a little bit tonight.  I added blackberries & used a simple lemon vinaigrette & loved the result!  (I forgot to take pictures, but I'm sure you know what salad looks like!)

Blackberry Apple Cobbler

We have blackberries growing along our driveway faster than I can eat them.  I don't post many sweet recipes on this site, but thought this was worth sharing.  If you are going to have something sweet, you might as well make it from scratch!  Last week I made a very simple blackberry cobbler, & tonight decided to try a variation on the original recipe.

Avocado Basil Pasta: 4 Ingredients & Fast

My avocado tree is almost done for the season.  I have made a TON of guacamole, & tried a few new (to me) avocado recipes.  This one, inspired by a recipe I stumbled across from Oh She Glows, is delicious, & super easy.  It is very similar to the Peruvian Green Spaghetti recipe I've posted on this site.  The quantities are very flexible, so adjust according to what you prefer.  While very tasty with pasta, the avocado sauce could be served as a dip.  I did not try it yet, but adding in spinach & a little lemon juice would probably be good.
