relatively speaking
My aunt oxidant came by for a little visit. Blueberries have more antioxidants in one little handful than you could possibly use in a day. Blueberry pinwheels chock full of goodness ready to bake.
fresh baked pinwheels straight from the oven are so hard to ignore but you have to or that bubbly goodness will permanently scar you - its like hot lava. A little cream cheese, a little puff pastry and some blueberries go a long way and when you sprinkle on a little vanilla sugar you come out like a rock star.
Grits and polenta are kissing cousins.
Grilled chicken breast with grilled zucchini, spinach and yesterdays grits that were cut into rounds and reheated.
Trust me this is nothing like breakfast cereal!

I want to come eat at your house. everything always looks so good!!
wow you sure know how to make your body AND your taste buds happy! My daddy only knows how to cook ramen noodles! lol.
I'm not familiar with grits, but this dish looks really tempting & healthy, and of coz, the blueberry pinwheels as well.
I am loving your dishes. Especially the pinwheels. Although hot blueberries = Ow! :-(
LK: hey you have it goin' on over at your place too!
sophia: thats funny, good thing you know your way around the kitchen
kenny: grits are good - you need to find some
cg: so hard to wait - but the bubbling blueberries was a good reminder..
wow lovely pinwheels....blueberries r really tempting right?..
Give me some of those pinwheels. I could use some anti-oxidants at the moment. ;-)
The blueberry pinwheels are a winner! Innovative and delicious as always..

You are so right! Those hot berries sure can be like Lava! I burned my chin testing a macaroni noodle last winter. The boiling water dripped. I had a terrible blister. Boy did that hurt!
These look so great. Maybe I'll serve them for breakfast in the morning.
You are haveing a festival of colours and taste. And all healthy too! I'd like to come over for lunch, ok?
Gorgeous pinwheels. I'm imagining them with different tropical fruits and making myself hungry....slurp, drool.... :)
Ha - Aunt Oxidant! Send her to my house next!
BLUE BERRYS YUM yum yum.. in pin wheels perfect combination!
So nice to see something new with blueberries. Pinwheels, who would have hought? They look great
Never seen blueberry pinwheels. The look wonderful! I have lots of blueberries here right now and may give this a try!
I need some antioxidants ASAP! These look delicious.
Aunt oxidant can come visit me anytime.
Blueberries are tasty and plenty available right now.. I'm thinking about a dessert for Saturday- blueberry cheesecake?

great minds think alike... but I would much rather eat what you posted! yum!
my camera is on the fritz!
Yum! Feed me blueberries mixed in any kind of pastry/cake and I will be your bitch. :)

Mmmm. The pinwheels are calling my name.
Brilliant idea with the pinwheels! I've gotta try that!
I've been meaning to try grits. It's like polenta you say? The pinwheels look great!
this looks amazing. I don't think I've ever had anything quite like it.
Okay, graham cracker crust, chocolate swirl cheesecake, with caramel topping! I have made a blueberry cheesecake- infused in the batter(blueberry syrup) and topped with a blueberry sauce! Reminded me too much of the kid who became a blueberry in the Gene Wilder Willy Wonka movie!
Blueberry pinwheels are such a great idea compared to the regular cinnamon walnut ones. I just read an article saying that blueberries contains more anti-oxidants than acai. I've been buying a bunch of blueberries, they are in season. Gonna make your recipe. Sounds delicious

Omg, I have to say, that first picture of the pinwheels FREAKED ME OUT. I thought you were up to some crazy-looking bone marrow insanity!!! I got goosebumps. But then, when I read that they were blueberry pinwheels, I calmed down and appropriately started salivating.
