So I have to apologize for not posting this sooner. I had every intention of it going up the other day, but Friday kinda turned me upside on my head with some tragic news and I needed a break from the stressors of my online Caveman Persona. I am trying to get back into the swing of things now and just move forward with a smile on my face. This upcoming week is going to be rough but I will truck through. The world and the United States Marine Corps just lost someone valuable way to early on Friday and I only wish that someone could have seen some signs of the impending decisions. Cpl Haskett was like a son to me for many years, so many late nights were spent mentoring and guiding him, countless hours on deployments, etc. It just hurts my heart that he thought his only option was the one he took. He will forever be in my heart. RIP Cpl Haskett 6-22-12.
No more sad talk, I am holding my head high and will remember him for the awesome guy he was. Which works perfectly with this awesome recipe. I have to tell you I was really hesitant when I decided to attempt this one, seemed way out of the box and I didn’t know how it would taste. To my delight it was delicious so here you go. Or maybe it is just the fact that I am an admitted blueberry addict so anything with them will get my vote. Who knows what I will try and put them in next. What are your favorite blueberry dishes?

Sweet Potato Orange Soup
I just have to say that I am addicted to this recipe. I used to think that I hated brussel sprouts but I now live them! I like to add a drizzle of balsamic vinager and some feta cheese as well!

I’m very sorry to hear about your loss, but if we keep celebrating life and the lives of others, it helps us to grieve a little bit easier. Today I’ll do something beautiful in honor of Cpl Haskett and also make a donation to an organization that helps returning soldiers and veterans get the help they made need. If you have any suggestions please let me know!
may* need. And by suggestions I mean any organizations that you may know of. Thanks!
Thank you so much Kate, you can donate to http://www.returningveterans.org/ and that would probably help a bunch. Thank you again
Wonderful. Thanks for the suggestion. Looks like a great organization, and I am happy to support it. Take care!
I always trust you – but this one, um, are you SURE?

Such an interesting flavor combo. I would have never thought to mix these, but now I just have to try it.
So sorry to hear of your friend. I wish that was not a common thread that I’ve been hearing lately.
I really hope you enjoy these.
I’m a total blueberry addict, I can’t wait to try this!
Awesome Kara, can’t wait to hear how you like it
Sorry for your loss George, I’ll never understand why people make that kind of choice.
