"I found this recipe from the book "Crazy about Cookies" by Krystina Castella. I have yet to try this recipe however; it's at the top of my to bake list. I found it hard to find blueberry jam but, was able to locate it at Fred Meyer/Kroger it was one of their Private Reserve jams. I've put in parenthesis which ingredient it used for each step, my apologies for any confusion, the new recipe box feature is bothersome and will not let me play around with the formatting as the original version."

I'm always on the look out for new tried and true recipes and love to share the recipes that I enjoy making. Growing up as a child my mom taught me how to cook/bake and I later entered food competitions at our local fair. I hope to some day share my love of cooking with my children. I love to cook casseroles..I'm not a huge fan of meat but will toss it in casseroles for my meat and potato husband. :)
