Maine Wild Blueberry Salsa
I added extra blueberries when I was done and realized I wanted more. I didn't use as much onion. Call me lazy, but I didn't cook and peel the tomatoes, I just diced them. I seeded them only a little bit (I don't mind the seeds as that's where there's the most flavor in that little pocket of gel around the seed), I didn't have the Hungarian Hot Pepper so I just used extra jalapeno -- but I still felt it needed to be spicier to counterbalance the sweet. I also just used (lots of) cilantro (have a major overabundance in the garden right now) and not parsley. It's great with chips but I bet it would be super tasty on top of some grilled salmon!

Favorite Banana Blueberry Quick Bread
I substituted the shortening with applesauce. I did half of the sugar as regular white sugar and the other half as brown sugar. I also added cinnamon, ginger and a splash of almond extract. I used 1 cup of fresh blueberries. I ended up using a muffin tin that makes 6 extra large muffins instead of making a loaf. It's super tasty and a beautiful way to use those fresh picked Michigan blueberries!

Oriental Asparagus Salad
This recipe is fantastic! It's quick and easy and super tasty...especially if you're using fresh, in season, locally grown asparagus! I made a couple of adjustments. I used the low sodium soy sauce to cut down on the saltiness. As well, I used dark sesame oil instead of the veg oil and used rice wine vinegar instead of just any old vinegar as this recipe calls for it. I took it to a potluck and it was a hit! Instead of draining off the marinade at the end we ended up using it as a salad dressing, so don't just toss it, use it! YUM!
