Feast your eyes on just one of the delightful dishes I slaved over for my precious husband for Father’s Day.
Pie made with fresh blueberries picked by K Belle herself.
Served only after steak, delicately rubbed with spices, and cooked in butter & olive oil in a cast-iron skillet, then, creamy garlic mashed potatoes, & salad because we’re watching our weight.
Did I mention the pie was topped with Breyer’s ALL-NATURAL vanilla ice cream? “All-natural” … that’s synonymous with health.
Dang, I’m good.
OK, stop your begging. Here’s the recipe.
The Best Blueberry Pie I’ve Ever Tasted
(from Recipe Zaar)
5 cups fresh blueberries
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 (15 ounce) package refrigerated pie crusts
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 (15 ounce) package refrigerated pie crusts
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon sugar
Sprinkle berries with lemon juice; set aside. Fit half of pastry in a 9-inch pieplate according to package directions. Combine 1 cup sugar and next 3 ingredients; add to berries, stirring well. Pour into pastry shell, and dot with butter. Unfold remaining pastry on a lightly floured surface; roll gently with rolling pin to remove creases in pastry. Place pastry over filling; seal and crimp edges. Cut slits in top of crust to allow steam to escape. Brush top of pastry with beaten egg, and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon sugar. Bake at 400° for 35 minutes or until golden.
Cover edges with aluminum foil to prevent overbrowning, if necessary.
Serve with vanilla ice cream, if desired.

(I would add another 1/2 cup of flour to make the center a little less runny.)
You’re welcome.
Oooooo! You're making me hungry. Everything looks (and smells) so good!
Yum!!! But before I can make it, I need K Belle to pick some blueberries for ME!!! 🙂
Mmmmm….thanks Mama Belle!
looks great… we like Breyers too! 🙂
At any point while creating such a gorgous dessert were you thinking about 'Stand by Me'???
Just wondering.
Blueberry anything is my favorite – pie, cobbler, muffins. It doesn't matter. This looks scrumptious – thanks, girl!
What an amazing looking pie and menu!
Oh my-
my moouth is watering right now.
Enjoyed visiting,

If you have time, will you give me step-by-step instructions on how you did the steak? I found a couple of different methods, but I'd like to know what you did. Please?
(I'm a little challenged in the kitchen…don't tell anybody.)
