Blueberry Coffee Cake
Growing up, this Blueberry Coffee Cake was the quintessential coffee cake in our home. We lived in blueberry country. Early on my grandfather Boppy grew the most gorgeous cultured blueberries. They were so sweet and big and juicy. Later we relied on wild blueberries which bordered tree lines and paths throughout our property. While it took a bit longer to fill our baskets, the reward was well worth it. The reward…was my sister Sarah making this heavenly Blueberry Coffee Cake.

Havarti cheese came along and gave it a big group hug.

Herb Infused Polenta {with Poached Eggs}
Herb Infused Polenta {with Poached Eggs}. Not exactly what I had in mind as I entered the kitchen this morning.

Equally as exciting to the taste buds is their aroma. They are fresh herbs.
