Another blessing/curse of the grocery shopping addict is that I go crazy when there is a good deal on. If there is a sale, watch out, because I will be all over it! lately, i have been able to find blueberries, strawberries and raspberries for fabulous prices, so, like any good shopaholic, i buy too many. well, not too many strawberries and raspberries...my kids eat those like candy, and they never last long...but blueberries. I have all the intent to make wonderful desserts, smoothies, pie, you name it, but being as busy as i am, i don't ever quite get there....between laundry, and work, and kids and pregnancy and doc appointments...cooking has been last on the list.
HOWEVER...when I have a lot of stuff in the fridge that will go bad if i don't use it, i head to my handy dandy computer, go to my favourite site allrecipes.com, and put in the ingredient of choice. aka, blueberries. well, lo and behold, here came a lovely recipe and one i HAD to try. i skipped by all the muffins and pies and drinks...cookies make my world happy. and even better, if they are THIS good...oh, darlin, watch out!!
