apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Lately I've been crazy about breakfast quinoa (thanks to 101cookbooks): quinoa cooked in water and milk, with toasted walnuts, cinnamon, blueberries, and a bit of honey. But, like you, I love blueberries and will eat them in all sorts of ways.

My favorite way to use fresh blueberries is in Ina Garten's tri-berry muffin recipe. Diced strawberries, whole blueberries & blackberries, unsalted butter, flour, raw sugar, eggs, cinnamon, kosher salt, baking soda & powder is all you need for warm, yummy heaven.

My favorite blueberry dish is straight up with a little cream... it feels very decadent.

A close second, though, is to cook the blueberries with a little sugar to make a compote, then use them with some sliced almonds in a baked brie.

Nothing more refreshing than vanilla ice cream and blueberries! And very nutritious in your morning cereal!

those look really good. this might seem weird, but i like mine with sourcream and sugar

Sour cream and sugar!...that's how my great grandmother always served berries. I think it's an Old World thing.

Not that I don't like that or muffins or drinks or cobblers or anything else, but I'm a bit of a purist when fruits are at their peak. I prefer them...blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, melons, peaches, etc...at their perfect best with absolutely nothing added.

I've been making blueberry malts. Oh so good.

This sounds so traditional, but blueberries with whole milk vanilla yogurt is so delicious that it's more like a dessert than a breakfast!

America's Test Kitchen's Blueberry Boy Bait (like blueberry coffeecake) is very good. And in the summer Nick Malgieri's Blueberry Muffins are almost a weekly treat.

At my last visit to my dentist she pointed out the inside of my front teeth were stained becasue of all the blueberries I eat (3-4 times a week with breakfast). Oh well, I'm still eating them.

Blueberry grunt. I think I should make some this weekend.
