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).

Over time, I have learned that the saying “Practice Makes Perfect” is true and, while pie dough (and puff pastry) are still my sworn enemies, I know I can rock a mean cookie and a crisp with ease. I can whip up cupcakes and muffins without worry, bread puddings are a holiday tradition and those quick breads that I have scorched – well, let’s just say that as of this week, I know I have nothing to worry about….
