Blueberries

My sweet grandparents have a green thumb and can grow just about anything! I am praying that I inherited some of that... but from the look of my ferns, it doesn't look promising. ;) They invited me over to pick some of their fresh blueberries from their backyard the other day.  I was able to fill a half gallon bucket full of the most beautiful ripe berries I have ever seen! After a great visit with my Nana, I took the blueberries home and starting hunting what I could make with them. Here's the cute pinterest idea I wanted to try:


The recipe said to put your blueberries on the wooden skewer, roll the berries in vanilla yogurt, then freeze. But when I did it, I couldn't even bite off a berry. They were frozen to the stick! I couldn't get them to slide off either. So this is a bust, but I did decide to dip more (individual) blueberries in yogurt and drop them on a sheet of wax paper, then freeze.  YUM!  Those popped right off the paper and worked out perfectly :) 


 I am so thankful for such wonderful, God- believing, prayerful grandparents. I pray that more than just their green thumb is passed down to my generation.

  1. Oo! I will have to try this one :) I'm impressed by your attitude to keep trying after it didn't work the first time :)

    This morning I'm making blueberry muffins with Greek Yogurt instead of buttermilk. Because I never have buttermilk lol :) I will have to let you know how they turn out!
