Blueberry fun!

Yesturday I was in a big baking mood. (I get those often). I browsed through my baking books and landed on some blueberry madness. I knew I wanted to make something with blueberries in it .. 1) because I love them and 2) I had a bunch of frozen blueberries that I wanted to use up. So I made two tasty treats...blueberry hill oatmeal cookies and cafe blueberry squares. Both turned out sooo yummy. The cookies lasted all of about 10 minutes. It was fun though and I know my uncle had been waiting for me to do some more baking..so I surprised him today at work with a bag full of goodies. He said I made his day :)
Here's a fun fact for you about blueberries: my christian theology professor told me that blueberries are known to help you think, so whenever you need a boost of energy to get you going, eat tons of blueberries! Plus, they are super healthy for you. And to think at my old house we used to have tons of blueberry trees in our backyard. In the summer time, we would pick buckets full of them each week..and I always thought of it as a chore and took it for granted. And now I can't get enough of them! Talk about terrible timing.
But hey, at least my family,roommates and I got to endulge in some yum yums :)
