Recipe of the Month: Blueberry Turnovers

Blueberry turnovers are popular American pastries and snack foods with a long history. Early settlers in the Northeastern US made turnovers because they were simple, used only a small amount of flour, and could be filled with any available ingredients. The triangular pastries are also conveniently portable. The American turnover is baked in a dough similar to a pie crust.

There are many relatives to the turnover that are popular around the world that use slightly different dough. For instance, empanadas are a fried meat and potato turnover popular in Spanish speaking countries, and pierogies are a boiled version popular in Poland. In the United States, sweet blueberry turnovers are especially popular in the Midwest and the Northeast where blueberries grow abundantly.

Listen for the Lie by Amy Tintera

After Lucy is found wandering the streets, covered in her best friend Savvy’s blood, everyone thinks she is a murderer. Lucy and Savvy were the golden girls of their small Texas town: pretty, smart, and enviable. Lucy married a dream guy with a big ring and an even bigger new home. Savvy was the social butterfly loved by all, and if you believe the rumors, especially popular with the men in town. It’s been years since that horrible night, a night Lucy can’t remember anything about, and she has since moved to LA and started a new life.

But now the phenomenally huge hit true crime podcast "Listen for the Lie," and its too-good looking host Ben Owens, have decided to investigate Savvy’s murder for the show’s second season.
