Feeling a little "blue"berry lately.

I'm telling ya, if blueberries weren't so expensive right now I would go wild with creating with blueberries.  I don't know why, but I have the sudden urge to bake/cook with blueberries and lemons.  Next on my list is lemon curd.  One of my favorite things to make and EAT!  It's dangerous stuff.  

I pulled this recipe from this blog, http://www.alexandracooks.com/2011/06/29/buttermilk-blueberry-breakfast-cake/, I only changed one thing.  I added brown sugar to the top as well as regular sugar.  It just seemed like the right thing to do.  

It was easy to make and very delicious, not very sweet, but great with a cup o' joe.   Here are a couple of pictures of the blueberry breakfast cake.  YUM!  I say YUM!

I have so many different recipes that I want to try right now.  What is your favorite holiday desert to make?  At the moment, because it will surely change tomorrow, I'm loving pumpkin spice cupcakes with a cinnamon cream cheese frosting.  SO GOOD!


Until next time,
CJ

MIA

It's been to long, I know.  I don't want to bore you with details, but here is an overview of why I've been MIA.

• Husband returned from a month long training event in California
• Working
• Halloween
• A newly strained knee
• Finishing projects that should have been done 2 years ago, but not interesting enough to post about.  lol

I did have a little project I worked on yesterday.  A baking project to be exact.  I didn't take pictures, but I'll share the link of the blog that I used for this "project".  They are apple pie cookies and here's the link, http://smittenkitchen.com/2011/10/apple-pie-cookies/.  Although fun, I let my 3 year old daughter help out, so, needless to say they didn't come out looking like the pictures on said blog.  haha  However, they were DELICIOUS.  Warning, they are detailed and a bit time consuming, but, oh, so, worth it.  YUM!

Funny story....

I was resting my previously mentioned "bum knee" and my sweet sweet daughter, Reagan, asked if I wanted ice.  I said sure mainly because I was wondering what she would do.  Well, she went to the fridge, pulled out a bottle of BBQ sauce, wrapped it in a towel and voila, ICE for the knee.  I used it and loved on my thoughtful daughter and future Dr. Reagan.  (Really, she can be whatever she chooses.)  Ah, I love that kid.
