It's blueberry time in Michigan! I was a little overwhelmed to see just how many blueberries make up ten pounds!
After washing and freezing 8 lbs of sweet blueberries, it was time to bake on a rare cool day in Kalamazoo. I made blueberry scones (new recipe was a disappointment) and blueberry bread with a lemon glaze...yum. John and I have been enjoying blueberries on our morning cereal daily. The rest were turned into blueberry butter today....like a jam but not made with anything except lemon juice, sugar, and vanilla.
A friend recommended freezing the berries in recipe quantities which was a great idea. No more measuring frozen berries and dropping some on the floor:)
What blueberry recipes do you recommend? I hope to make blueberry shakes, blueberry pancakes, and just eat them as a cold frozen treat on hot summer days!
Life is sweet when you surround yourself with dolci...sweet things that make you happy. For me, dolci can mean great friends, good times with family, and of course, delicious sweet treats!
If you love sweets, baking + cooking, and children....welcome to my dolci world!
Welcome to the sweet dolci life!

Oh, dear. It's been almost a year and a half since my last post! Some time-sucking excuses: sold our house in St. Louis and moved back to Kalamazoo, recovered from 4 serious health episodes that took up Sept-July when I was living on Ensure and couldn't think about food, enjoyed a 12 day vacation/cruise with family ,and now am busy shopping for everything needed for our basement finishing. You'd think somewhere in 17 months I could have written one post!!
But no!! I simply got addicted to foodgawker and now have over 500 recipes in my Favorites list. It's been great fun trying those new recipes now that my health is better. My newest ingredient is quinoa (keen'-wah)....I can't get enough of it!
It's been too hot to turn on the oven. So baking will have to wait! But, soon....I hope to post a yummy recipe. Hopefully, it won't take another 1.5 years:)
