It is a truth universally acknowledged, that any married mother, must be in want of a vacation by herself every once in awhile. Although I have stolen that line from Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice" (and more on that at a later date), the sentiment is completely appropriate for modern motherhood.
The following recipe is from one such vacation for me a few years ago when I met up with some cherished college friends in Santa Monica. The best part of this recipe is that you can do it all in one bowl with a wooden spoon. Easy and tastes like morning at a bed &breakfast on the California coastline.
(Channel Road Blueberry Bread)
1 stick butter, softened
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup sour cream
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (I sometimes add one extra cup, especially if the blueberries are fresh)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large bowl, cream butter with sugar. Add eggs, vanilla and sour cream. Mix in flour, baking powder and baking soda. Slowly fold in blueberries by hand.
Pour into greased 9x5 loaf pan. Bake for about 1 hour.
