Does anyone else have this weird thing with food?
Should I explain???
Ok-I LOVE anything with blueberries. Seriously–blueberry muffins, blueberry pancakes, blueberry pie…..keep’em coming! I cannot get enough of them!
A bowl of blueberries?
Um….No thank you.
Ok? Isn’t that weird? How can I LOVE the food when it is being carried about by a tasty vessel, but I cannot bring myself to squash one little, tiny blueberry between my teeth and enjoy it.
Well. I guess I never have publicly proclaimed to be normal. I guess I am just now formally submitting my proof. 🙂
So…speaking of blueberry things…I made this unbelievable blueberry breakfast bread the other day. Made with whole wheat pastry flour, but super moist and delicious with tons of juicy blueberries throughout and just enough sweetness to be enjoyable but not too much that you can’t call it …breakfast.
It was easy too and when I baked it, the kitchen smelled wonderful. The top of this bread turned golden brown and crunchy as it baked…perfect for pulling off out of the oven to taste test.
I mean, I don’t do that. But I imagine that it would be so good, you would almost pull off and test the whole top and then be thankful that you made two loaves when it was time to photograph the bread for your blog.
Er….or…something like that.
This is a must try especially if you have kids. My kids wanted some every morning and I felt good giving it them with a side of fruit and yogurt for breakfast. They loved it and so did I. Try it out-you will love it too.
Just don’t offer me a bowl of blueberries to thank me though.
I will be just fine going without.
