Blueberries

Not many ingredients, very simple

I never like Blueberries growing up. I think its the fact that most of the time, you never know what your going to get. They could be sour, mushy, or just gross! But when you get a good one, its all worth it.They are such a treat, and always feel like summertime. This summer, my house has had a never ending supply of blueberries. We had to come up with something to do with them besides just popping them in our mouths! We discovered a GREAT lemon blueberry bread recipe. And the best part is, its a light recipe! I am also going to try a blueberry tart.. sometime. But we always end up using the bread recipe. So i am going to share it with you. Its really simple, and soo delicious. It can be breakfast, dessert, and anything in between.
