17 pounds of blueberries

Last Saturday, Drew and I picked 17 pounds of blueberries. So, what did we do with all these beautiful berries you ask?



I started by washing, drying and freezing 10+ quarts of blueberries. These are so great to have all winter long for blueberry pancakes and other baking~


And I made some blueberry muffins. This is a Barefoot Contessa recipe and it is so good!


Then I made a blueberry pie. I so love blueberry pie and this turned out absolutely perfect.



And a blueberry coffee cake. This is a Paula Deen recipe and is the first time I have made it- and judging from my family's response- I will definatetly be making this again!


But probably my favorite thing to do with blueberries is to sprinkle them on a big bowl of Cheerios's~



Here is my
