Today was one of those perfect summer days. We woke up early and went for a walk before the heat became unbearable. Then my mother-in-law kept the kids for a couple hours so I could get some blog work done. And then after naps, we headed to the pool to cool off for a couple hours.
A grilled meal and some evening work in the garden rounded out the day. Can all our summer days, be this fun and relaxing?
These blueberry pie bars are the epitome of beautiful summer days too. A soft, sweet dough with folds of sweet blueberry pie filling and vanilla glaze make them a perfect summer treat. You can either use homemade blueberry pie filling or a can from the store will work great too. Homemade filling is super easy though, all you need are blueberries and a few pantry staples.
So excited today to be sharing this recipe as part of the Summer Festival Blog Hop. Kendra, from Joy in Our Home planned a week of fun summer ideas from bloggers around the internet.

Yesterday, there were 5 gorgeous front porches. (I’m a little jealous of some of these.)
Today, we have 5 delicious summer dessert recipes
Thursday, will be 5 lovely tablescapes
Friday, we will wrap up with 5 summery mantle decorating ideas.

We are a blueberry dessert loving family. This is definitely a keeper – thanks for sharing!
Cindy says
Do you think adding some lemon zest might brighten up the flavor? If so, how much do you think? My granddaughter asked me for a picnic dessert recipe and I had this in my must do recipes! Thank you.
Mallory says
Yes. I think that would sound great!
Lynn Turner says
Can these be made a day ahead or even frozen?
Mallory says
Yes. These are better made a day ahead. And they freeze well too.
