I was anticipating a lazy Sunday morning but when I woke up and made my way into the kitchen I found Norm busy baking. Other than an excercise class that I took, we have spent half the day in the kitchen. I couldn’t resist sharing some photos of the fruits of our labor. Hope you enjoy them!

Looks as if I’m not the only one jumping up and down over the blueberry buns! My mom used to make a Polish version for my father … the recipe has been long lost. I’m going to make your version this weekend! Thanks for posting!
I would love to know how they come out. My parents are Polish as well. Was your Mom’s recipe different?
Thanks,
Irene
Wish I could tell you the exact recipe, but she never wrote them down … all I can recall is that it was a yeast sweet dough almost, but not covering the blueberry filling. I used to call them “blueberry footballs” bc that’s what they looked like.
I’ll make a batch of a version I found on the internet, and if they come out well I’ll post ‘em.
WOW — I’m so impressed you made all that bread!
My husband baked the bread and we did the blueberry buns together but it is impressive to watch him bake!
Thanks!
Irene
New to your blog, and everything looks delicious! I’m wondering if there was an occasion for all this baking? (in other words, who got to gobble up all those delicious baked goods???)
Hi Jennifer,
Great question! For now, they are individually wrapped and frozen. Can’t wait to look at your blog and thanks for writing me!!
Irene
My son was getting engaged so my husband and I started baking for the occasion knowing he and his fiancee would come to L.A. for a L’Chaim. Very intuitive!!
Irene
OMgoodness, my mouth is watering! Those baguettes look incredible! I am so impressed and wish I could bake something more interesting than a cake. I found your blog through my Twitter feed and love the name of it – so cute!
Thank you Mara!!! What a nice thing to say. They are incredible. My husband is a BIG Peter Reinhart fan. You can check out his recipes here.

I remember my bubbie’s blueberry buns too, Mom! I had forgotten all about them till I saw them here….
Lori,
The blueberry buns are in a older post. Look under recipes. You could easily make them and your Mom would be thrilled!
The bread recipes are in a baking book that we have and you can borrow it or I will try and post a link to it.
Thanks Lori!!!

Hi Sarah,
My favorite, Yoga Booty Ballet at Swerve. Great place.
I promise to work on Norm and get him to share some!
Love,

What an adorable picture — the two of you baking together! I can see it as the cover of your upcoming cookbook…
Funny!!! He does love baking.
Oh the memories of blueberry buns – in my minds eye – (nose) I can smell and taste them. I am going to have to try making them myself
They bring back memories for me as well. My mom would take them to Orchard Beach and we would have them as a snack in the afternoon. I am posting more photos of the buns but under the bun recipe.
Thanks for writing!!!!
