One of my favorite recipes to make is a quick bread. No fuss, a few ingredients and in a little while you have a delicious bread to enjoy with coffee or on its own. Whether it’s my Mexican Chocolate Loaf Cake, my Blueberries and Cream Quick Bread or even my Harvest Bread, quick breads are always a delicious brunch recipe. However, the perfect Lemon Loaf has always escaped me me. I often go to that coffee shop that we all frequent from time to time and they have this iced lemon loaf that tastes heavenly. Well – no more because I finally found the best lemon quick bread recipe – this Meyer Lemon Greek Yogurt Loaf with Lemon Vanilla Glaze. It is packed with lemony flavor, is moist yet a bit dense, and drizzled with a sweetly tart glaze….

I have the ultimate bacon packed appetizer that will be the hit at any party – these bite-size Bacon Thyme Scones with Savory Whipped Ricotta.

They are so easy to make and I can guarantee that you will be tempted to make a double batch. The Savory Whipped Ricotta will also be a favorite to spread on these lovely scones with a creamy cheesy bite. This could also be a favorite recipe for an afternoon tea….

This year, for the holidays, I’m leaning towards gifts that are more of a homemade holiday vibe. Sure, there will be gifts under the tree but for friends, family and neighbors, there will also be some delicious treats studding their stockings, gift bags and mailboxes. I find that homemade treats go over well with friends and family and is a thoughtful gesture for neighbors and coworkers. Plus, what says I care more than something that is delicious and made from scratch, right? Now – we’re not going down the road with leaving cookies for the mailman ala Monica in Friends, but you know what I mean.

Y’all know I am a shopping ninja and I leave no find uncovered. I am always on the hunt for great deals and I’m about to share something with you that I haven’t disclosed to my closest gal pals… specifically, one of my favorite shopping haunts – Big Lots!

Big Lots! and I began our torrid shopping flirtation back in the Orlando days but when I moved up here to Philly, I happened to discover the Big Lots! in King of Prussia and it’s been true love ever since.

I hope everyone had a fabulous Labor Day Weekend full of fun, relaxation and summer delights! Now that we’re in the unofficial start of fall, today’s recipe is one that you might find yourself making again and again – Apple Oatmeal Muffins.

The start of September also means that it’s time for another Blogger C.L.U.E. recipe and this month’s blogger that I got to stalk is my gal Christiane from Taking on Magazines. She’s a stellar cook and baker and her recipes are always delicious. What I love is that she’s a straight shooter when it comes to recipes – she tells you what she likes, what she doesn’t and how she’d switch it up on the next time she’d make a recipe. I knew that whatever recipe I chose to feature would be fabulous.

This month’s assignment was to focus on recipes featuring apples and pears, but the minute I spotted these Apple Oatmeal Muffins I was sold. Some other fabulous apple recipes on her site include this sweet Dutch Apple, Pear and Raisin Pie, her Roast Chicken with Sweet Potatoes and Apples, and this intriguing Cheddar, Apple and Pastrami Grilled Cheese.

Today’s recipe is something I know you are going to love – a Blueberries and Cream Quick Bread that is bursting with sweet blueberries and a drizzle of vanilla cream glaze.

I absolutely love whipping up a quick bread for brunch – it’s easy to make and no need for me to face my irrational fear of all things yeast breads and the “OMG will it rise” conundrum. One day I’ll face that baking bread from scratch fear – just not now. I love that a quick bread comes together somewhat fast and for something that inspires me to turn on the oven in this summer heatwave, you know it has to be a recipe that is so worth me braving the heat (and the AC bills).

With the abundance of fresh sweet blueberries everywhere, I figured I would play on a variation of my favorite Strawberries and Cream Bread and go with more of a blueberries and citrus feel. This Blueberries and Cream Quick Bread trumped my adoration of all things blueberry toasties as a child. This quick bread toasted was beyond scrumptious for a quick bite to start the day, fabulous with some iced coffee in the afternoon and amazing for dessert with a bit of whipped cream and, if you are feeling so inclined, a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream….
