It is blueberry time!
I know so many people who went to the blueberry pickin’ patch this week. And while I enjoy blueberries, the thought of going to the blueberry pickin’ patch sounded like more work and less fun with two kiddos in tow and 90 degree weather. So, I was thankful blueberries were on sale this week. (Check out the Hy-Vee Blueberry Deal and Hen House Blueberry Deal.)
And while I enjoy eating blueberries plain – I especially enjoy them as part of a baked goodie. So this week’s What’s For Dinner will focus on two blueberry baked standards – muffins and buckle.

What are your favorite ways to have blueberries? Got any recipes to share?
I love to bake with fresh blueberries–I do love going to the blueberry patch and picking fresh blueberries although this week would have been torture with the kids! Here is a link to an awesome blueberry pie recipe. It is super yummy with homemade vanilla ice cream (or ice cream on sale works great too!)
