I had a ton of blackcap raspberries, so I substituted them for the blueberries. Since I was making two loaves, I made 'buttermilk' using lemon (1 tbl. lemon juice to one cup milk) and an additonal tsp. of grated lemon zest to add to the lemon flavor. Also added vanilla extract. Here's a helpful hint to eliminate the berries falling to the bottom of the loaf: spread a small amount of batter in bottom of pan before mixing in the frozen berries. Then with a very gentle hand, mix the berries into the remaining batter, then spread in pan. It seemed to help a lot. Also topped with lemon glaze (is it obvious we like lemon ... a lot?)

OK: Here's my take on this recipe. Salt & pepper the chops before dredging them in flour. No egg necessary. After browning, put in slow cooker. To drippings in pan, saute 12 oz. sliced, fresh mushrooms. Then add 1 can of cream of mushroom soup, 1-1/2 cans of milk, then 1 packet of onion soup mix. Mix ingredients and bring to boil, then add to slow cooker. I used six thick, boneless chops and had more than enough gravy. Fork tender, no need for a knife.

I've been making a variation of this recipe for years. Instead of the spices, mix in some Dijon mustard to taste, maybe 2-3 Tbl., along with the cheese and mayo. Really perks it up.
