Bringing home a “Guest Post”……from this time, last year!!

As our blueberries ripen on the bush, our minds have turned to our friend, Vanessa, and a post we shared with her readers last summer.

Our first {and only} “foodie post”…..thus far in our blogging journey.

********************************************************

Hello all! We are thrilled to be here on Vanessa’s “Porch” enjoying the first few days of summer.  While we are only here ‘virtually’….instead of in the flesh…..we tried to imagine what we would be talking about, had we truly been on Vanessa’s porch….

Then, once we settled down a bit, possibly rocking away on the porch swing/rockers, and sipping on our oversized lemonades, we would begin ‘talking shop’ {ie: anything and everything related to the sewing community that we could possibly think of}. Technically: we. would. pick. Vanessa’s. brain. for a few hours….okay, maybe a day…..and then invite ourselves back for the following day to discuss “life, in general.” Pushy guests, huh?!?!

But, what about you? Is there anything in this for you…as you join us today? Well, since summer technically began last week….and since we would need a little snack to go along with that oversized lemonade….our minds turned to the time of year it is around these parts: BERRY PICKING TIME!

all in the name of finding and picking the ripest, juiciest berries!

Although we’ve picked blackberries from time to time, and Ashley {frances} received a “You Pick, You Buy Strawberries” gift a few years back, our “go to” berry of choice is the blueberry! 

So much in fact,  that Ashley {frances} was gifted a few baby blueberry plants after a birthday request was made.

Maybe because it is said to improve one’s memory {no snide remarks towards Emily….just saying}, or the fact our parents eat them as a regular part of their breakfast routine…

At any rate, now is the time for blueberry season around here so we’d love to share an easy-peasy blueberry recipe for you to enjoy through the warm summer months.

So, what’s the surprise? We honestly don’t have a clue!! Maybe it is the recipe’s ease, maybe it is the crust, maybe it is the blueberries tucked away inside, maybe it is the taste, or maybe the author had run out of other blueberry titles and just went with “SURPRISE!”  I mean, who doesn’t love a great surprise?? Known, or unknown!! What do you think? What IS the surprise in our “Blueberry Surprise”?!?!

Thanks so much for having us over, Vanessa! It’s been fun sharing this “surprise” {???} with your readers on “The Porch”! Now, Vanessa will forever be known as the first blog where we shared a “food post”…..completely making our mother’s day.
