preheat oven to 375^.
cream butter, add sugar, beat till light. Add egg, beat well.
Add dry ingredients alternately with milk beating till smooth. Fold blueberries into batter. Pour into 9x13 pan (sprayed with PAM) Put topping on. Bake 35 minutes.

From Southern Living May 2010




Cook potatoes in water on stove. Whisk together mayonnaise and next 4 ingredients in a large bowl; add potatoes, tossing gently to coat. Stir in onion, blue cheese, and bacon.

*Balsamic vinegar may be substituted but will darken the color of the dressing.
