Blueberry Cream Cheese Danish
Over the last few weeks I had my fair share of cream cheese danish pastries at motel breakfast bars across the Southwestern US. And to be honest, none of them are as good as freshly homemade ones!

With Mother’s Day around the corner, I partnered up with Bi-Rite Market to share a quick and easy breakfast recipe for you to make for the special women in your life!
