I made this for my husband on a lazy Saturday morning, and it was a huge hit!

I made this for dinner. Very pretty recipe. Made because my husband likes bread. Sauce as alittle tart. More sugar may be needed in sauce. My husband gave it a 2, but I gave it a 3 because raspberries are my favorite.

Easy and delicious!
I made this as a V-Day dinner - it was so easy and delicious. Little fuss and lots of time to spend with my special someone (and *not* in the kitchen preparing dinner!)

Looks really good. Raspberry however is not one of my favorites. May substitute with strawberry or blueberry. Mmmmm!
