Have you heard of Pinterest?  If not, you are totally missing out.  If you have heard of it, then you probably know it is by far the best place to find new and interesting recipes to try and that is where I found this recipe.

I always said I would never join the Pinterest community because I feel like I have “too many things to check and keep up with”, but I got sucked in recently.

The first day I joined I fell down the black hole and it took me days to emerge.  It is very addictive!  I am more of an observer than an actual “pinner”, however.  Mr. Wishes happened to take a look at my Pinterest page yesterday and rendered it “boring”.

He had the nerve to say I went overboard with the New York Yankee pins. Could that even be possible?  I guess that permits me to spend some more quality time catching up on some less-boring pinning this week.

If you love blueberries, try my blueberry banana bread! I love the combination of blueberry and lemon! There are also a lot of reasons to be obsessed with this Overnight Blueberry French Toast Casserole. It’s one of the most popular recipes on my blog.

I loved this Buttermilk-Blueberry Breakfast Cake for many reasons.  First, any cake that demands to be eaten at breakfast time is alright with me (and can be enjoyed with your morning coffee).

Secondly, I like the intricacy that results as a combination of the blueberry and lemon flavor.  And third, I just love cake!

It is a super moist cake so it will stay good if you have to make it a day ahead of time.  Of course, as with all sweets, it’s best the day it’s baked. Definitely put this on your t0-bake list!
