Anti-Aging Blueberry Buckle
Blueberries are one of the highest antioxidant foods, and can protect your brain and eyes, and reduce your risk for cancer. My friend, Laurie J. Buck, came up with this recipe after we spent a morning picking berries. Lemon zest and lavender add bits of color and flavor to the biscuit part of this dish, while lemon juice enhances the blueberry taste.
