Recipes ~ Blueberry Tart & Mini Fruit Tarts

I have been feeling blue these days.. And must admit that I am very happy about it. Blueberries are plenty once again and my craving for the mildly tart and tangy fruit is a bit uncontrollable. Most of the time I try to avoid making any complicated recipes in the summertime.  I do not want to spend too much time in the kitchen so my go to product for a quick dessert is the Pillsbury 's refrigerated pie crust.  I always keep a box or two in my refrigerator.

It is no secret that I have a little obsession with pretty china.  Just looking at these beauties makes me smile.  It is all about simple pleasures and a bit of pampering.  Most of the time, it is family
