Treat Yourself to a Slice of Homemade Blueberry Pie

Blueberry pie is a classic and makes me think of my dad and grandmother. We didn’t eat a lot of pie when I was growing up, but it’s definitely something my grandmother enjoyed making and my dad enjoyed eating. I have come to enjoy pie more and more over the years and will tell you that there’s really something to be said about homemade pies. They are just better. And this one is truly fantastic. So much flavor and just the right amount of juiciness!

The filling comes together in seconds with only one bowl required – and let me tell you, it’s fully loaded with fresh blueberries. It features lemon juice and zest to enhance the fruity goodness, plus cornstarch to thicken it just enough.

Cinnamon and nutmeg are also used in the filling to elevate the flavor even more. As for the crust, it’s good enough to eat by itself! But even if you make this pie with frozen blueberries and a store-bought crust, it’s still bound to be a crowd favorite.

A Fancy 15-Minute Goat Cheese Dip with Blueberries

I don’t know about you, but I am a huge fan of goat cheese. The way it crumbles and melts in your mouth is just so satisfying! And its tangy, earthy flavor profile makes it go so well with pretty much everything.

One of my favorite things to pair with goat cheese is blueberries. The combination is simply divine! There’s a blueberry rosemary goat cheese log that I often get at the grocery store, and that’s what inspired this crave-worthy appetizer recipe.

My version is seriously to die for! It’s so wonderfully fresh, and I love how you can adjust the flavor to your liking. Plus, it’s spread out on a plate rather than rolled into a log so you get the perfect ratio of rosemary cheese to blueberry sauce in every bite. It’s also super easy!

Homemade Grape Jelly Meatballs

These meatballs are a delicious classic. The homemade meatballs are coated in a sweet and savory grape jelly sauce and simmer in the crockpot for a couple hours. The sauce mixture of grape jelly and chili sauce may seem crazy, but the flavor is on point!

Even with all the yumminess packed into this party-worthy appetizer, it’s super easy to put together. And you could even make it a couple of days in advance! The meatballs will only become more flavorful as they sit in the fridge. You’ll definitely be sneaking some before you serve them!

Easy Baked Ham and Cheese Sliders

I can’t even think about these warm and buttery ham and cheese sliders without drooling. Ham and cheese alone are a fabulous duo, especially when there’s baking involved to get the cheese nice and gooey. When you add the fluffy, sweet Hawaiian rolls and the tangy-sweet glaze with dried onion flakes and poppy seeds, you have an appetizer that everyone will go crazy over!

These starter sandwiches are a popular munchie for potlucks, football night or any other festive occasion. And this recipe does it better than ever with no extra effort. It’s all thanks to a flavorful ingredient list that never fails!
