I have this issue with blueberry pancakes that I know puts me in a solid minority (in the blueberry pancake-eating world, I mean 🙂 ). I just do not like maple syrup (or the imitations) on blueberries. The flavors somehow clash for me. Instead I like my blueberry pancakes sweet–almost, but not quite, as sweet…
Blueberry Custard Pie–And A Discovery
I had such high hopes for this pie. I mean, look at it, it’s so lovely with its layer of jeweled blueberries. But it turns out I really, really dislike custard pie. How was I to know? My mom never made them–she and my dad dislike them also. But John and the girls liked it–it…
Blueberry Buckle
I am so tired I can barely type. How do single parents do it? I mean, John has gone out of town plenty of times before, but never when we were in crisis mode of some sort. I’m dying here! Ironically we are making progress with Sammy (I think, anyway, unless last night was…
Quick Breads: Lemon Blueberry & Cappuccino with Shaved Chocolate
A friend of mine from Sammy’s playgroup is running a Kindermusik class this fall and she had our playgroup over as a practice run. I offered to bring breakfast. I had a doctor’s appointment more than an hour away the day before, so I decided to keep it simple with quick breads. I made a…
A Tornado and A Whole Grain Blueberry Buckle Coffeecake
I am on the verge of getting behind, mostly because of all of the storms we have had here lately. Oy the excitement! I mean I usually like storms, but hiding out (alone mind you since John was at a conference) with 2 toddlers in a seriously icky flooding cellar/basement is NOT my idea of…
Summer Blueberry Crumble Bars
I love our farmers’ market. I mean, all foodies love their farmers’ market, but I really love it as a social experience as well. I live in a smaller community, and it seems like everyone knows everyone. The people who run the kids’ booth know my kids’ names; the lady who sells goat cheese knows…
Catching up from Computer Woes: Blueberry Crisp & Peanut Butter Cookies
When I promised pictures of Cheesecake Pops and commentaries on blueberry crisp, I should have remembered my husband was going out of town. Yikes. Things were further complicated by the fact that for some reason fixing our external hard drive wiped out an entire week’s worth of Microsoft Word (saved on the internal hard drive)…
Conquering Blueberries and Streusel: Zach’s Blueberry Buttermilk Muffins with Streusel Topping
I have a new favorite cookbook! I just cannot keep out of Carole Walter’s Great Coffee Cakes, Sticky Buns, Muffins & More. It has all of my favorite baked goods, and the bundt cake selection is especially impressive. I have been cooking a lot of simple, healthy meals, frequently repeats for us, not really blog-worthy,…
