I mentioned earlier that while I was on Flagyl I was unable to consume any alcohol, not even vanilla extract. But as I felt better, I was desperate to bake something. Have you ever tried baking without vanilla (I did not have any alternatives, like beans or paste, available)? It is really hard! I finally…
Blueberry Crisp Parfait
I am willing to buy certain fruits and veggies year round. Maybe because they are only available from far away (citrus, anything tropical), they are not grown in abundance locally (broccoli) or they are so necessary either in the winter (onions, peppers, garlic) or for specific preparations (galangal, lemongrass). But certain fruits and veggies, we…
Blueberry Streusel Coffee Cake
Like many people, we tend to get into ruts where breakfast is concerned. This problem is even worse for non-morning people, like myself, because we are not going to get up earlier–even by 10 minutes–to add cooking time to our morning routine. Nor are we capable of much thought, let alone creativity, for a good…
Blueberry Lemon Tiramisu
I have been staring at this recipe for 2 years in Lori Longbotham’s Luscious Lemon Desserts, and I finally decided that it is the perfect post-holiday dessert to serve to company. On the one hand, everyone is totally done with (for a while) chocolate, nuts, mint… but on the other hand you cannot serve wheat…
Blueberry Peach Crisp
Is it weird that despite the unbelievable ripe, sweet juiciness of these peaches my favorite thing about this crisp was in many ways the color? I just keep staring at it and thinking that deep purple and hot pinky-peach combo could not exist in nature. And yet it does, albeit from 2 different fruits. I’ve…
Blueberry Rhubarb Crisp
We’re potty training right now. This is a food blog so I won’t go into the beat your head against the wall details other than to say we were driving home from the dentist today (our only permitted excursion because I had canceled several times already), the sun was shining, and I really, really wanted…
Make Ahead Blueberry Breakfast Casserole
Make Ahead Blueberry Breakfast Casserole is delicious and can be made with frozen blueberries, thus bringing a taste of summer to any special morning, whether it be Christmas, Easter or just a relaxed weekend brunch with family or friends. I have made this recipe several times, so in December 2015 I decided to update the…
Blueberry Lemon Tiramisu Trifle
This is another one of those I-know-someone-else-could-have-made-it-prettier-but-holy-moly-it-tasted-good desserts. I just have terrible hands. My dad is a surgeon, my sister can decorate cakes like you would not believe, but none of that came to me. Good thing for me at this point I have a reputation for stuff tasting good! We had another couple over…
Lime & Thyme Blueberry Pound Cake
I got this great new bundt pan recently from Williams and Sonoma–a gift to myself with a credit card rewards gift card. I am obsessed with this pan. It is the Heritage bundt pan and strangely enough it is the first 10 inch (12 cups) bundt pan I have owned. Obviously anyone who reads this…
