"(It's kinda awesome.)"

Do you have any idea what it's like to walk into your friendly neighborhood supermarket - the one you've been shopping at for 7+ years now - and see a giant poster of your BOSSES, under the headline "HOMETOWN FAVORITES!"?? And then to cruise the aisles, picking up your groceries, and to overhear everyone talking about them ("You see who's gonna be here?" "I love their show! Watch it every Saturday!")??? DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT'S LIKE???

(It's kinda awesome.)

And since part of my job description is monitoring twitter for "Food Network" references, allow me to share with you this fabulous little jewel I found:

Paula Deen's Easy Blueberry Skillet Coffee Cake
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
one 12-ounce tube buttermilk biscuits
1 cup blueberries, fresh or thawed frozen

Streussel toping:
1/4 cup slivered almonds
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons butter
2 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1. Preheat oven to 375F. Combine streussel ingredients in a food processor and pulse until large crumbs form.
2. In a 9-inch cast iron or other oven-proof skillet, cook the butter & brown sugar over medium heat until melted. Arrange the biscuits in a single layer in the pan; scatter the blueberries over the biscuits and the streussel topping over the berries.
3. Bake until the center biscuits are golden and a tester inserted into the center of a biscuit comes out clean, about 30 minutes.
4. Allow to cool slightly and serve from skillet.

Enjoy!
