Blueberry Buttermilk Breakfast Cake

I recently had the blessing of having my daughters over for a leisure Saturday breakfast. We are all “foodies.” Google defines a foodie as “one who has refined interest in food!” Our belief is that we don’t want to just eat something – we want it to be delicious. Mealtime is an event! I wanted to make it a little special!

I looked through my recipe index here on my blog, and when I saw this Buttermilk Blueberry Breakfast Cake recipe, I knew it would be the perfect addition to the rest of the meal. I wanted savory and sweet, and this was a nice addition to the egg dish I was making. This cake is fluffy, moist and full of flavor.

Here was my menu:

Baked Quiche
Grits
Buttermilk Blueberry Coffee Cake
Fresh Fruit with yogurt and Peanut Butter Granola

Fun Discoveries of Things I Love!

I love coming across good ideas or products that ease my workload. I’ve recently discovered or re-discovered a few things that I’ve been enjoying that might help you, too!

Many recipes call for buttermilk in the list of ingredients, and it really does enhance the flavor of baked goods! However, I don’t usually keep it on hand because it can be expensive, and you can’t just purchase a cup of it!

The Bold, Religious Looks of a Woman

You can listen to this post (last week’s podcast) here.

They say that we spend 1/5 of our life talking! How many of those words are spoken carelessly or in haste? How many are sincere and uplifting to our mate? Since our speech fills many hours of our life, God gives us wise instruction about what to say and how to say it. Surprisingly, we can act like the “strange woman” in Proverbs 7 by these three actions that follow.

Honey Dijon Salad Dressing

A special salad can add so much to a simple supper of fish (like this Dijon Crusted recipe) or Grilled Chicken Breasts! A fabulous salad may be all you need to add to the protein you’re serving. The good news is that it doesn’t take lots of effort to come up with a salad that is a special addition to your meal! I love making my own salad dressings to make my salad really delicious, and I’ve shared many different varieties here on my blog.

Recently I made another kind of dressing – Honey Dijon, that was the perfect blend of tangy and sweet! I also lightened it up a bit by using a light Mayo.

Meeting Jamie Deen

I am a huge Paula Deen fan! I love her old show, her You Tube channel, and her restaurants! I’ve gotten to eat at Paula Deen’s Family Kitchen in Pigeon Forge and it was delicious!

I learned from Whitney that her son, Jamie’s restaurant in Savannah was really good, too. So when my husband and I recently took a road trip to Florida, I asked if we could stop and eat at The Chicken Box. Not only did I want to try the fried chicken, I was in hopes of getting to see and possibly meet Jamie. Well…

I was not disappointed!
