Amy R.'s Blueberry Morning Delight

If you can't tell already, we love ourselves a yummy breakfast at MOPS. This recipe is for a favorite that Amy R. has made a few times for our group. Every time she makes it, she gets asked for the recipe. I've turned it into my family's favorite breakfast for Christmas morning.
