We’re getting married on a blueberry farm. This weekend. This WEEKEND! Gosh, this thing came fast. Seems like Christmas Eve was just yesterday… the day my guy got down on one knee and popped the question. I didn’t say yes, though. I said “of course!”

Gotta say, I’m psyched the day is here. Yes, yes, I am definitely just ready to get it done with and get on with our lives. But I’m also just dang excited for all the festivities (and the honeymoon!) Plus, I get to marry the most wonderful guy. Bring it on.

So I thought it was appropriate this week to share this recipe for Blueberry-Lemon Sauce. Not only because there are blueberries involved, but also because we’re going to be serving this sauce over cheesecake for dessert at our reception.

Not just cheesecake-appropriate, we also love this sauce over ice cream. We love it over pancakes, waffles, and french toast, too.

It’s delish. I love how the lemon really complements the blueberry flavors.

Yum, yum, yum.

Here’s the recipe! And with that, we’re off to get hitched and stuff. See you again in a couple weeks! 🙂
