“A flognarde (flow-nyard) is a custardy French dessert of fruit baked in a batter that most resembles the mix you would use to make crepes.” I used blueberries to make my flognarde. I had previously made a cherry clafoutis (a tart of fruit, typically cherries, baked in a sweet batter) and I am not sure…

Crumb-Topped Ricotta Coffee Cake
We are well aware of the magic of ricotta cheese in baked goods. One of our favorite breakfast items is lemon ricotta pancakes. In this recipe the cake batter is very thick which held up the berries quite nicely. I always fear a soggy cake with fruit but this was not a problem here. The…
Father’s Day Blueberry-Cherry Pie
Pies are beloved in my house. Every year I make a cherry pie for summer and a blueberry cranberry pie for winter. These are our favorites and I have tried and true recipes. Dorie’s Father’s Day Pie combines two of our favorite berries into one pie. I am used to using pectin as a thickener…
Sablé Breton Galette with Berries
I have made sablés (cookie) and I have made galettes (pie) but I have not made a sablé galette. I made the galette dough and the lemon curd the day before and chilled it overnight so all I had to do was bake and assemble the next day. I rolled out the galette dough into…
Blueberry – Mascarone Roulade
From Around My French Table by Dorie Greenspan, I made this roulade for Mother’s Day. It is one of the many desserts I have not had a chance to make from this book yet. A dessert with fresh blueberries seemed just right for spring time. It is a sponge cake baked, rolled in a towel…

With the heat of the summer, blueberries are in season every where so this was the perfect summer cake. It was painful to turn on my oven, we were having a heatwave in California, but I did it any way. I had most of the ingredients for this bundt cake but picked up fresh blueberries,…
Mixed Berry Pie
Dorie says “As soon as there are berries in the market, there’s pie in our house”. I went with that theme for this week’s baking assignment for Everyday Dorie. Berries went on sale at one of my markets for $1.98/6oz, I took that as a sign to make a pie. I did not use Dorie’s…
Fruit Salad with Limoncello
I Heart Cooking Clubs If you like fruit salad then I encourage you to make this one, it won rave reviews when I served it. I was inspired by the Limoncello which I had plenty. The fruit base is filled with summer fruits: strawberries, raspberries, blueberries and banana. The fruit salad is sweetened with sugar…
Blueberry Bran Muffins
When I think of the phrase “when healthy meets delicious” I think of Ellie Krieger, I believe that is her tag line. For this weeks challenge at I Heart Cooking Clubs I decided on Ina Garten’s blueberry bran muffins. With a whopping 2 1/2 cups of wheat bran in the recipe, it packs a punch…
Blueberry-Buttermilk Pie Bars
Tuesdays with Dorie Dorie’s Cookies These bar cookies are a Southern take on buttermilk pies. I have never had a buttermilk pie so this was a new dessert for me and my family. The crust is baked first with flour, sugar, cornmeal, cornstarch, salt and butter. The topping as Dorie calls it is custard-like and…
