The only muffin recipe you’ll ever need.

We all have fond memories of visiting grandma when we were kids. It’s quite common for grandmas to have all sorts of goodies and treats available for her grandkids to eat during their visit. I know that mine surely did. One of the things grandma would regularly make were sweet breads. From banana to zucchini, she’d make them all. One of my favorite breads that grandma would make was her famous lemon blueberry loaf. Oh boy! Was it ever lip-smacking good!

I decided I wanted to mimic my grandma’s lemon blueberry bread but I wanted it to be in muffin form instead of loaf. That’s how I ended up with these incredible muffins that have since become a staple in our breakfast rotation.

These muffins are uh-mazing! I actually have a batch baking in the oven right now as I type this. I wish I had smell-o-vision so you guys could sniff the air that is wafting through my home. It’s a lemon-blueberry paradise up in here.

Quick Tip: These muffins taste great just as they are but I found that adding a pat of sweet cream butter to them adds even more tasty appeal.

One Spoonful Of This Dessert And You’ll Be Hooked Forever

Every now and then you feel like having a nice dessert. I don’t mean after your meal – I mean having just dessert instead of your lunch! What? You don’t get that feeling? Well, I certainly do. And the only way to get rid of it is to make a quick and yummy dessert before your husband gets home and realizes that’s the only meal you’ve had all day. I may or may not have done that today – but if my husband asks, I’ll deny everything.

Just kidding, kind of! I did make this incredible berry crumble from the berries I happened to have in the freezer. And I did have only this for lunch today. But I’m not going to hide the dessert from my husband, no way! It’s way to delicious for that. Besides, how am I going to get a second portion of it after dinner tonight if I need to keep it a secret?

Quick Tip: Use any berries you have at hand for this crumble.

If you’re anything like me, you’re probably a HUGE blueberry pie fan. I’m not talking about the crap that comes out of a can, either. Real blueberries in a thick and syrupy glaze created in one’s own kitchen cannot be matched by Comstock. I am so glad I found this recipe!

This recipe for blueberry pie filling teaches you how to make up a large batch so that you can enjoy the pastry right now and freeze some up for later. Wouldn’t it be nice if when you had a hankering for fresh, homemade blueberry pie all you had to do was open your freezer?

This recipe was even approved by my mother – and that, ladies and gentlemen, is a big deal! She makes the best blueberry pie filling (or any pie filling, really) but she still wanted the recipe for this one. That’s something!

Quick Tip: Blueberries from your own bushes or the farmer’s market (when in season) work best for this recipe.

How to whip up a healthy salad you can be proud of.

Have you ever craved something sweet but you aren’t interested in cakes, cookies, pies, or candy? I know when this happens to me I all about shock myself as I’m a junk food junkie. However, sometimes a big old bowl of fruit salad really hits the spot.

This recipe isn’t for your ordinary fruit salad as it contains two very specials ingredients: honey and lime.

The honey kicks the sweet factor up a bit, and the lime adds a touch of tantalizing tartness. This fruit salad is perfect for taking to summer picnics, BBQs, and family get-togethers.  It’s easy to throw together and looks like a rainbow in a  bowl. What can be better than that?

Quick Tip: Add a dollop of Cool Whip to individual servings of this fruit salad.

We’re all used to the regular form of pizza. Piping hot dough smothered in tomato sauce, cheese, and pepperoni, right? Sort of, but that’s not the type of pizza we are making today. Today, your pizza will be smeared with sweet cream cheese and topped with the fresh fruit of your choice!

Now, if that isn’t enticing enough, the crust of this fruit pizza…are you ready for this? The crust of this pizza is a gigantic SUGAR COOKIE. Talk about a big crunchy bite of YUM. I love making fruit pizza for spring and summer gatherings. Everyone gobbles it up like the world is about to end, but can you blame them? Just look at the gorgeous, colorful presentation. Beautiful.

What goes great with your morning cup of coffee? COFFEE CAKE! Seriously, never says morning pick-me-up like a steaming cup of Joe and a slice of sweet blueberry buttercream coffee cake. This recipe calls for fresh blueberries, so don’t worry, you’re still meeting your nutritional needs. “wink”

I love making this coffee cake and serving it to houseguests. It’s always a major hit in the mornings. However, feel free to serve up this delightful cake at any time. It goes perfectly with your afternoon tea or as an after dinner dessert. The creamy buttercream frosting is my absolute favorite part of this cake. It’s so soft, rich, and heavenly. We have a feeling you might just serve yourself a second slice.

Quick Tip: If you plan on taking this cake to an event, make it a day ahead but don’t put the blueberries on until right before you leave to keep their color from bleeding all over the frosting. Presentation is everything 🙂

Seriously folks, nothing puts a smile on your face like an old-fashioned whoopie pie. However, this recipe puts a twist on the ooey, gooey, cake dessert and uses ice cream instead. Made with mixed berries, the cake portion of the pies are filled with sweet, summer yummies. Once the dessert has been fully constructed, you’re left with two fluffy cakes with a thick slab of ice cream sandwiched between them.

This dessert is truly drool-worthy and makes a great hit during the summer months. We like to eat them any time of the year at our house. Make up a big batch and store them in the freezer to share with friends and family. Of course, you can always stash a few behind the frozen veggies for yourself. You never know when you’ll need some late night snacking reinforcements.
