Blueberry Shortbread Bars

Last night I watched the Food Wishes video recipe for Blueberry Shortbread Bars. This recipe looked so delicious and easy I had to make it. And I was right, this is ridiculously easy to make and the rewards outweigh the work required. I began by making my dough, which I think came out a little…

Today I moved out of my lil' apartment of two years...Kind of sad to leave a place you've spent so much time in. But I'm not moving far and I am in loooove with my new apartment and the neighborhood. Lots of pics of the new place coming soon. But for now, let's take a minute…
