The hunt for blueberries |
This past weekend, we went up to Maine to see my brother in a summer theater company show. (Great job, Jared!) Wouldn’t you imagine that driving through Maine one might come across a blueberry stand? I mean really. It is supposed to be THE place for blueberries! Well, we couldn’t find any fresh blueberries to take home, but we did enjoy a slice of blueberry pie with a scoop of blueberry ice cream. We also returned to a wonderful breakfast place we went to last year, the Wild Blueberry Cafe in Ogunquit. Last year when we visited, they brought warm, fresh blueberry mini-muffins right over as we sat down. Apparently it’s a limited offering, though, because we were told that they ran out before we arrived. We didn’t get blueberry pancakes, but Ben did get another Maine specialty – lobster benedict.
Well, I guess everything happens for a reason, because though I returned home a little sad without any blueberries, I was delighted that my local supermarket was having an incredible sale – by 1 pint, get 2 free! I’ll take it 🙂
I already used up a whole pint last night, making two individual blueberry cobblers. I returned to the recipe I used a few weeks ago, this time cutting the crust recipe in half. They were *almost* as good as the blueberry pie we had in Maine, but a little less sinful. So easy, so satisfying, and I have two more pints of blueberries in the fridge if the craving hits again!
I'm Cara, lover of creative, clean food and healthy living. Pumpkin, goat cheese, and eggplant make me swoon. I have an insatiable sweet tooth and desire to lift heavy things.

We weren’t served blueberry pancakes at any of the B&Bs we stayed at in Maine! Guess it was too early in the summer. We did have some great pie though! I hope to make my first cobbler next week sometime if I can find some good fruit, maybe peaches.
