Blueberry Boy Bait

This weekend I went to see Moonrise Kingdom (finally!). I loved the romance and the peter pan collars. During the days I spent a lot of time in the yard with Elliot. My outfit matched the picnic table. I painted my nails the color of blueberries while watching crime shows on Netflix. And I totally sprinkled the berries that now matched my nails on this cake. What did you guys do? The truth is that this could…

Apple Coffee Cake with Crumble Topping & Brown Sugar Glaze

I remember this episode of Garfield from when I was a little girl where there was free ice cream in the park, and he kept going back for more by wearing a fake mustache, a hat, sunglasses, or other various disguises. Speaking of disguises. This is a dessert disguised as breakfast. Make it for house guests this lovely Labor Day, and you’ll be glad you did. People might even put on fake mustaches when they…

Blueberry Streusel Coffee Cake

Shnozberries taste like shnozberries and this coffeecake right there looks like pac-man. Most importantly it tastes delicious, and sometimes coffee cake can be dessert with a grilled dinner. Good thing it’s summer because these blueberries are Michigan’s finest, and they needed to be used promptly or they would’ve ruined everything by giving up on life. So make this! For dessert! For breakfast! For guests! For fun! For the sake of all blueberries in the world that…
