Blueberry Muffins

After a long, busy week, one of our favorite things to do on the weekend is relax in bed, coffee in one hand, a sweet treat in the other, and watching cooking shows on TV.  It’s our ritual.  Even when Joe is traveling, I still carry that tradition on. I think the most exciting part of the morning is the sweet treat.  From danish to muffins to scones, THAT is what we really look forward to (coffee for me, tea for him, of course). And what better way to watch our favorite cooking shows, than with a little sweet something~or~other.

 Muffins~are my second favorite morning treat.  The first being anything with cream cheese (heaven!).

The hardest part about the morning is getting out of bed and on with the day.  Oh I love my bed!  And my coffee.  And my danish/muffin/scone.  And my husband.  I love him the most.  But, there are recipes to create, pictures to take and posts to write.  And so the day begins…

Slainté!

Recipe Notes

*We have a convection oven, so MOST of our pastries/breads/muffins we use this method.  I like to include both heat settings for these recipes.
