Not a fan of Fruit.....

I have to admit to that (though I am a fan of my friend Becca's blog ) it's not that they have really done anything malicious to me over the years...the problem with them is their inconsistency to taste the same every time. I really need to look at the areas the fruit comes from when I find a fruit I like, then I might start to feel a little friendlier towards them. My family is also a little iffy about them....so I have been "trying" to use them more often.

This week I had an abundance of blueberries...so I tried a blueberry strudel of sorts....and still had a bunch left in the fridge for a few days...and well, for me blueberries scare me. I just can not take their mushy consistency when they start to "fade". So I knew I had to do something with them instead of wasting more moola in the garbage.



So off to my favorite recipe website with Gavyn I went, because that is one of our great pass times together....searching through recipes for things we are going to make down the road....and actually came across a blueberry drop cookie recipe....




and while it was a snap to make....I usually just look at the recipe ingredient list to see if I have everything and just start baking.....lol.....I should have read it a little more carefully....because then I would have known about the 4 hour chill time in the fridge....ooops.....just means that they will last 4 hours longer in my house....hehehe.....



While they turned out great I did substitute the almond extract for vanilla....and add a twitch more lemon for tartness....

I love baking, and I am glad that I am starting to get a little helper in the kitchen as well :)....

now if only I could get him to help clean up the mess as well....heheheh
