Better than the Best

Yesterday morning we picked lots of blueberries at the local u-pick farm. Buckets full - close to twenty pounds. It was our third trip to the farm this year and I have only frozen a few trays of them. We have been eating them like CRAZY.Later in the day, I rolled out some  dough for cinnamon rolls and spread it with butter, brown, sugar, and cinnamon...There on the counter was a big bowl of fresh picked blueberries. So, I tossed a bunch of those on the dough and rolled it up.(my helper had to get a photo too)They really turned out great. I was so eager to try them that I put the frosting on as soon as the came out of the oven, I should have waited a couple of minutes for that.They were so good that I'm making them again today!I know that I posted my cinnamon roll recipe as the Best Ever Cinnamon Rolls but I think we have succeeded in making the best BETTER!

Buckets of Berries

It finally came. The day we have been eagerly awaiting finally came - opening day at the local blueberry farm!! We went early, as usual, to beat the crowds.We quickly strapped on our buckets and started picking.We filled our buckets and came home to start our blueberry feast. We have been eating them by the handful, putting them on cereal, making peanut butter and blueberry sandwiches, baking them, and even freezing some. I think we'll be picking again soon!
