Another great place to grab some breakfast. Craylees is located at 237 Bleeker Street, Utica, NY. There’s nothing better than homemade sausage links, fresh eggs, and bakery made Italian bread, toasted.

Good food is the answer to everything.

Now and then I post about places that I frequent. This one is one of my absolute all time favorites. I have been going to this bakery since 1992 and has been in the family for over 50 years. This place has created so many great memories for me just because of having their baked goods over the years. Places like this you can’t duplicate, especially in today’s times.

This is a little bakery called Friendly Bake Shop and is nestled in the heart of the Village of Frankfort located in upstate New York’s Mohawk Valley. This is their 4th generation of spreading love through their baked goods.

They truly show their love for what they do through their products. The recipes haven’t changed one bit. No preservatives or additives, just pure homemade awesome tasting donuts and bread.

The donuts literally melt in your mouth and the bread is indescribable. All you need is a pat of butter on a slice of that wholesome goodness and you are in heaven.

If you are ever driving this way through the Mohawk Valley, this place is definitely worth trying. You won’t regret it.

Blueberry Crumble – Gluten Free

Okay, so here is the deal. When I search for a recipe I actually dread clicking on some of the sites because of the advertisements. When you hit the “Jump to Recipe” button, it rolls you down to the recipe but then there are all those popup ads which I despise. But I also know that is how some of you make money. I totally get it!

So, when I post my recipes, I like to get right to it. If I describe anything at all besides the recipe itself, it will be a quick 1 min read or less.

Today, my dog sitter dropped off some fresh picked blueberries. I can’t even begin to tell ya’ll how delicious they are. I kept 2 cups out for the crumble and the rest I froze.

I hope you enjoy this recipe. Please leave a comment if you tried it!
