When you're choosing a fruit recipe to share for Fruit On Tuesdays,
and the day is rainy and dreary (again),
you just might make this Blueberry Cream Cheese Coffee Cake
and indulge in a middle-of-a-rainy-afternoon snack.
(So you can get some good photos, of course. You will do such things for your readers.)

Do you ever indulge in a mid-afternoon snack?
The question is: Was Bekah able to indulge? ;-)
ReplyDeleteThe answer is: Yes! (Amazingly enough!)
ReplyDeleteWhat is not to love about a "from scratch" coffee cake, with blueberries, on a rainy day? And....a good cup of coffee. Wish we lived closer, Cheryl. I also saw today that Starbux has a new coffee named Kati Kati! Spelled just like Kati! xo
