So I've had these blueberries just chillin' in the fridge for like two months now. Back in July, my friend Jessica brought me a HUGE bag of them--fresh picked from her bushes. I've been using them in muffins and pancakes for weeks. I can NOT believe how well they have kept all this time.
A couple days ago, I saw this recipe for Blueberry Banana Bread and thought it might be a great way to use some more of them.
Oh, Wow! Was this good! I couldn't keep myself out of this stuff, and neither could anyone else in the family, including Bella. I made two loaves last time and plan to make about six the next time. You gotta try it!
