Cream Cheese & Blueberry Breakfast Bake

Ok friends. Here is the deal. This breakfast dish is da bomb. Do people still say that…? Do you need another fruit and bread breakfast bake recipe? Definitely. If you were sitting across from me right now and we were chatting over a cup of coffee (you, no doubt with a trendy…

Blueberry Maple Muffins

I don’t know much in the way of sports jargon, but I will do my best. These muffins came out of left field!  They gave me the one two punch!  They are a perfect 10!  Touchdown!  If I had to give this recipe a score, it would be Love:Love. I can almost…

Smokey Smoothie-Blueberries, Bananas, & Spinach

This smoothie is what I have been making lately so naturally, I want to share it with you!  It gets frozen in these little thingamabobs and then added to my daughters lunch.  My boys-especially my almost 1 year old-suck down whatever can’t be frozen, and I just end up trying to steal…

Buttermilk Cremes

I had a brief moment of hesitation when deciding to post this recipe.  Very brief.  Like, so brief it is barely worth mentioning.  And yet here I am, talking about it… But THEN!  Then, I came to my senses and started typing!  I thought that another custard recipe so soon after creme brulee…

Baked Oatmeal

I know that this recipe works.  I know without a shadow of a doubt that it is consistent, easy, streamlined, and adaptable to many different palettes.  How do I know this?  Because I have made this a CRAZY number of times in the last three months!  There has been oatmeal coming out…

Summer Berry Pudding

There is this recipe of Ina’s that I have been wanting to make for years.  Yes, I know I have been cooking from her books a lot lately, but this one really sticks out in my mind during the summer, for obvious reasons.  It is stunning to look at and uses very…

Cornmeal Pancakes W/Blueberry Sauce

Don’t let this picture fool you.  No matter how good you think this looks, it tastes even better. Usually, when my husband works regular hours (which is almost never), Saturday morning is the only day of the week that we get to really indulge in a nice big breakfast.  With the exception…

How To: Freeze Berries

Berries!  Specifically, blueberries!  Tis the season for these healthy, antioxidant rich fruits to hit the shelves of your local market in abundance.  And while I know we all love to enjoy them fresh and right out of the container, it is definitely worth it to save some of that goodness for those…

Freezer Coffee Cake

And I’m not talking toaster waffles, my friend!  I am talking coffee cake.  That dessert-for-breakfast-but-we-all-pretend-like-its-ok type of deal.  My Mom made coffee cake all the time when I was a kid and I am happy to pass down the unhealthy tradition to my kids.  There was that time my brother thought he would…

Blueberry Sour Cream Coffee Cake Muffins

I ‘heart’ Ina Garten.  And these muffins! I have said it before and I will say it again.  The woman is awesome.  For those of you that have missed my references to her in previous blogs (and there have been many) she has a show called Barefoot Contessa on The Food Network. …
