Happy 4th of July!

I wish I could say I was celebrating in style and grillin up a storm, but I've been a bit sick lately and have been homebound.  But for those of you who actually have PLANS... here is my personal hero's list of 94 red, white and blue desserts, for those of you who are potlucking tonight.

i will be sitting on a lawn chair on the roof of my apartment building with a pizza and a beer, watching the macy's fireworks.  you're more than welcome to join.

mama's day bonanza

so all this week i've been preparing for what turned out to be a super fantastic mother's day breakfast.  i made three different kinds of quickbreads (all martha stewart recipes, natch) and the most super amazing blueberry lemon muffins from one of my favorite blogs, joyeverafter.  i set up flowers and made (delicious) bellinis and all kinds of lovely mommy friendly things.  mama cried, which is really all a breakfast throwing daughter can ask for.
click here to see pictures of the day! see below for links to all the recipes

• strawberry bread (my favorite, so yum!)
• banana nut bread
• joy ever after's lemon blueberry muffins *best b-berry muffin recipe of all time, everyone always loves them.
