I'm still in awe of the incredible selection of year-round produce that grows in California. The other day, I picked up this medley of naturally sweet treats…golden raspberries {mild & lovely}, organic raisins {love their gorgeous golden & almost cranberry color}, and empress dates {firm but not as sweet as Medjool dates} from the Hollywood Farmer's Market…
