Blueberry Cornmeal Skillet Cake

Blueberry Cornmeal Skillet Cake – Easy delicious cornmeal cake that bakes in your skillet. Fresh blueberries, simple ingredients and tasty results! Short on time? This recipe comes to the rescue with fresh fruit and easy preparation.

Spring and summer means bring on the berries. I adore berry picking season. I drag the kids along while they complain about the heat, have to go the bathroom (of course!), eat 569 berries that we’re supposed to be bringing home. But it’s all good. It’s all about the memories. Right?

I grew up in the city of Philadelphia. So my summers were spent in sprinkler at the park, going downtown for fun festivities. I mean who can resist free Wawa hoagie day, right?

My summers were spent differently then what my kids are experiencing here in the South Central PA. Our summers include strawberry picking, blueberry picking and raspberry picking. It’s every kids dream summer, right? 😉 Now, we do have other fun too. Like bike rides, trips to the park, fun days at the lake and so on.

But every time spring rolls around, I just plant seeds in my head of bare feet, green grass and me sipping something cold with fruit. Like this delish lemonade or this ultra refreshing tea. I’m just torturing myself here. Because as I type this it’s a mere 41 degrees. Super nice, right? Summer I know you’re coming. I’m depending on you. My dreams are too. Please come quickly!

Thanks for being here. If you make this recipe tag me on social media. I’d love to see it!

Til we meet and eat again,
