I have an absurd relationship with blueberries....

....But at least they are rich in antioxidants! :-) Okay...so I don't typically blog about food. Since I follow recipes more than create them, I don't really see the point. However, tonight I have to make an exception. Sunday nights we always make breakfast for dinner, but tonight I was very specifically craving blueberry pancakes from Cracker Barrel. And really...I'm sorry to say, I was being pouty about it. Finally, I recognized that I was being ridiculous and decided to just see what I could do to replicate it at home. Sure enough my research quickly revealed some websites with the recipe from the Cracker Barrel cookbook. And oh...my....the delightfully fluffy, easy, inexpensive, slightly crispy, buttery, blueberry goodness!!!! Perhaps you, my friends, are already pancake experts, but every time we try to make really good pancakes we end up deciding we'd rather just use bisquick. Not anymore! I'm so excited by this discovery that I just had to share it, so below you'll find the recipe.


  • 2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt (heaping)
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • butter or oil for cooking
  • A lot of blueberries or other fruit, if desired.
Just combine all ingredients, making sure not to over stir. Cook on medium to medium-high heat on a well greased skillet. I actually cooked some bacon first, drained the excess grease and then made the pancakes. Enjoy!

Oooooh I love blueberries, too!!

My dad would buy me flats of them from Costco and I would pretty much eat all of them in a week. MMMMM. Also, we adore breakfast for dinner and rightly had it last night! French toast makes my knees week.
