I have a fabulously easy dessert to share with you today that you are going to love – Summer Berry Dessert Bruschetta.

You can’t walk into the market without seeing such amazing sales on fresh summer berries. I’m guilty of often adding a pint (or three) to my cart so finding innovative ways to use up these lovelies are always an adventure. Blueberries and blackberries are my ultimate favorites – something about that sweet tart flavor I can’t resist….

These Lemon Baked Blintzes with Summer Berry Compote is a showstopper dish for your next weekend brunch. Lemon ricotta filling is baked between two layers of blintz batter and drizzled with a citrus laced summer berry compote.

We are on the last day of #BrunchWeek and I hope you entered the giveaway. If you haven’t – head over there now, enter quickly and then come back because you are going to LOVE today’s recipe.

While I’m so sad to see #BrunchWeek end, I am excited to share my favorite recipe of this year’s #BrunchWeek with you. I have a recipe that I have been obsessing over for some time. I first saw the Barefoot Contessa make these baked blintzes on a show of hers eons ago and it was filed in that “I’ll get to it” memory bank where I have a slew of recipes mentally bookmarked. However when BrunchWeek comes around, I always want a showstopper recipe or two like my Chile Relleno Quiche, Croque Madame Muffins, Mexican Chocolate French Toast with Spiced Blackberry Syrup, or my favorite Cheesy Breakfast Burgers. This recipe is definitely a weekend brunch showstopper. These Lemon Blintzes with Summer Berry Compote are so easy to make but will have your family and friends swooning at first bite….

Since I was a child, I had a thing for blueberry anything and Boo Berry Cereal from my childhood has always been a favorite. I buy a box or two once a year when it’s out around Halloween as a bit of a birthday guilty pleasure. I happened to spot boxes of this childhood favorite at my local grocery store and, like a lightbulb moment, I thought “CEREAL TREATS”. A couple boxes went into the grocery cart for “research purposes” and it was time to whip up some Blueberry Studded Boo Berry Cereal Treats….

I have to share a side dish that I am obsessed with right now – this easy and delicious Quinoa Pilaf with Fresh Summer Corn and Blueberries.

I have a thing for quinoa lately. I love using it in salads, side dishes or even for breakfast. Quinoa is packed with protein and, if cooked correctly, a perfect canvas for your favorite flavors. Inspired by my Autumn Quinoa Pilaf, I decided to make a summer version using fresh Jersey corn and blueberries that have been stocking the shelves in our markets lately….

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….
