Aunt Joanie's Blueberry Muffins
Still snowing in Cincy, for those of you keeping score this is the snowiest (is that a word?) February in history; and we are only at the 16th of the month. Over the weekend my phone beeped, my neighbor and friend was calling to see if he could stop by with some homemade blueberry muffins. Now this is a guy who prides himself a grill master but claims no skills at all in the kitchen. Long story short, he shows up with a basket full of steaming hot blueberry muffins.
Just looking at the muffins you could immediately tell they were not the standard mix the ingredients from a box muffins. Moist, full of berries, these breakfast treats will warm your bellies and your spirits on a cold, snowy morning. They wouldn’t be bad mid-summer either. Mark suggests using wild blueberries, he is from Vermont, and coarse sugar on top, but they are really great no matter where you got your berries. Mark claims they are his aunt Joanie’s recipe; wonder if he is holding back on any other of his aunt’s recipes?

Recipe of the Week – Easy Berry Tart

Easy Berry Tart
I was baking some tart shells to take on our next trip to New Jersey when my neighbor said she was having some family over for dinner yesterday. She doesn’t bake and I had the shells made already… so I decided to put a quick dessert together to send down to her.
This is a really easy dessert to put together. If you have the tart shell made, you can make them and freeze them for a later use, this tart takes about 10 minutes to to construct. Using a box of pudding and pie filling and two cups of milk; you create a dessert that looks great and taste even better. A nice way to salute the passing of the summer season.
