Blueberry Buckle
Posted by Tracy | Filed under breakfast & brunch, desserts & sweets
Last week, I received an e-mail from one of the local you-pick orchards nearby letting me know that blueberries are now ready.

Sour Cream Coffee Cake with Maple Glaze
Posted by Tracy | Filed under breakfast & brunch, desserts & sweets
While packing for the Big Summer Potluck this past weekend, I spent most of my time thinking about what kind of snack or dessert to bring. Even though we weren’t required to bring a dish to share, I decided that I just couldn’t attend an event with “potluck” in the title and not bring something [...]
