I just love breakfast.

And pastries.

Blueberry pastries are the easiest way to make a quick pastry, use up any berries before they spoil, and look like a GD genius while you’re at it.

These blueberry danishes are the easiest recipe for the novice baker, and I promise you’ll just love them. They are an easy adventure with just about 20 minutes in the morning and the leftovers will not make it through dinner – so don’t worry about refrigerating them before bed. No need, my friend.

This recipe is using store-bought puff pastry. Just buy the store bought stuff and save yourself some time. Don’t you have laundry piling up on the couch?
