Dear Yellow Jacket in the Berry Patch,
Next time I pick berries near your home I would prefer if you would please not sting me again. I didn't mean to scare you. I just wanted some fresh berries to bake with. But thank you for not calling the rest of your friends to come after me. That was much appreciated.
Love, the Lady with a Swollen Finger
Dear Camping,
You are kind of ok. I must admit you were not as bad as I remembered. I think having cooler weather helped a lot with that. Although walking to and from a public bathroom will never get any easier. Thank goodness for campfires and s'mores to distract me from the fact that I was in the great outdoors. At least until I went to bed and heard all the nightlife right outside our popup. Headphones would be a good thing to remember if there is a next time.
Love, The Non Camper in Me
Dear Christmas Paper in the Frame,
It's time to leave. I know you thought I wouldn't realize that I missed getting you out when I took down the rest of the decorations so many months ago. But I see you...I have just been too lazy to get you out. I'm getting the urge to fill the frame with a cute picture now....if only I could decide which one. Maybe it would be easier to leave you in for the holiday season since the year is flying by.
Love, the Lazy Housekeeper
Dear Lady in the White SUV,
Thank you so much for cutting me off the other day. I must say how much I love having another vehicle swerve right in front of me with no warning. It keeps me on my toes. Although it isn't good for my kids to hear me calling you a "stupid moron"! Thanks for that one. I owe you big time!
Love, the Sarcastic Mom in the Mini Van
Dear Routine,
I miss you!!! Please come back to our house. It has been fun for a while being a slacker with no agenda, but the late nights and the late mornings are actually starting to bug me...just a little. I promise to be better at sticking to your plan. Will you consider coming back so I can give you another try? We need to get the kinks worked out before school starts.
Love, the Night Owl
Dear Goodwill,
Why do you continue to tempt me with your racks of clothes and piles of fun dishes and frames? You never disappoint me every time I visit. Thank you for having 3 stores in my area that are always more than willing to take my money. Give me a few more weeks, and I will be back with more money to spend on those treasures.
Love, the Shopaholic Treasure Hunter
Dear Crescent Rolls,
Thank you for being so easy to work with. I love how fast it is to make a yummy breakfast/snack for my kids when I keep you on hand. Your flakey and buttery layers were a perfect match for the cream cheese and Honey Blueberry Sauce. Never change your recipe.
Love, the Day Before Breakfast Baker
Blueberry Cheesecake Danish recipe:
Blueberry Danish
A Blueberry Danish is a quick and easy breakfast for busy weekdays or relaxing weekends.
Ingredients
- 2 - 8 ounce cans refrigerated crescent rolls or sheets
- 1 - 8 ounce cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup blueberry fruit filling
- 3-4 tablespoons turbinado sugar
- ¾ cup powdered sugar
- 3 teaspoons milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Place a Silpat on a large sheet pan.
- Beat together the cream cheese, sugar, and extract in a bowl until creamy.
- Unroll both cans of crescent rolls and separate into 8 rectangles. Press the seams together. Cut each rectangle into 2 squares, making a total of 16 squares. If you are using the sheets, cut each one into 8 squares.
- Spoon the cream cheese mixture evenly onto the center of each square and spread it out from one corner to the opposite corner.
- Top with a spoonful of blueberry pie filling. Fold one corner of dough without cream cheese on it into the center. Fold the opposite corner over the filling and press lightly into the other piece of dough.
- Sprinkle dough with turbinado sugar. Bake for 16-17 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool for 3-4 minutes on the hot pan and then place on parchment paper to cool completely.
- Cool completely, then whisk together glaze ingredients and drizzle over the top of each cooled danish. Let set.
- Store in a covered container in the refrigerator. Makes 16 danishes.

Tank you for the awesome recipe. Super easy and wonderfully delicious! I couldn't find the white chocolate cream cheese, so I used vanilla bean cream cheese instead. Wonderful!

Dear Jocelyn the baker and blogger,
I do believe you may be my daughter-in-thought; everything you wrote is exactly how I feel about camping (now glamping--oh, yeah! Public restrooms and showers--oh, no!), spiders, flying arachnids (as I think of all flying stingers), etc.
Can hardly wait to try all, or almost all, of these recipes. While I have no living children anymore, my son loved all things "campy," as he put it, especially the (verbatim) "specialist food we can eat." Specialist, in his case, meant "most special"--but he was only eight when he used that one 🙂
Thank you for the terrific recipes that my now-grandmother friends and I can enjoy at the Feast of Tabernacles in October.

To make this healthier......use light cr cheese(not neufetchel). It has 1/2 the fat. Stir in fresh blueberries, & a couple of drops of stevia liquid, lowers the carbs (sugar has high carbs) & fat. Nothing beats fresh blueberries...just sayin'
Jocelyn Brubaker
That is a great way to make it a little bit more healthy. I do love pie filling though 🙂
Michele
Have you tried using blueberry and lemon filling I think I will try that tomorrow for a treat!

I took my boys camping when thy were little as I was a divorced mom and they wanted to go camping. I got a tent from friends of mine and went to the nearest campsite in our town. My boys were 6 and 12 I hate bugs and scared to death of spiders! When it was time to go to sleep I checked the tent and sleeping bags for any kind of bugs. My boys kept telling me it was ok. We finally settle down and I have the flash light in my hand and lit all night. My 6 yr old says... Mommie you can turn the light off I'm not scared. I in return told him.... Oh honey mommie can't I'm on spider alert. Needless to say they have never forgotten that trip and never ask to go again. Lol. Both my boys love the outdoors and do go camping so they were never scarred from it. Now for the recipe. Can't wait to try this. Love that its quick and easy.

Late to the party on this one, but your notes are precious!
Recipe came up on Pillsbury's facebook feed. Will definitely have to try these...and experiment with different fillings....they remind me of Hamentaschen, but with cream cheese and fruit filling instead of plain filling. 🙂
