Top of the Muffin to You




Nothing says “spring morning” like a steaming hot cup of coffee and a basket full of blueberry muffins. As a child, my Mémère had a blueberry bush in her backyard. It was always covered in cheese cloth so those pesky Grackles. My brothers and I would crawl underneath the cloth and grab a bunch of those plump juice berries oVnce they were ready to picked. We didn’t just do this with blueberries either, we would also go over to a friend’s house and pick wild black berries!

I cannot thin of anything better than fresh picked berries.  They are always sweet and juicy. Unlike the tart berries you find in the grocery store that you need to add a pound of sugar to sweeten them up.
Sometimes I like to get up on a Saturday morning before the rest of the family stirs and bake of batch of blueberry muffins. When the kids bounce down the hall they are smell that fresh-baked scent and get very excited. As you can see from the picture I didn't even have time to take a picture on the basket of muffins. Oh well, I should be grateful they left me one. 



Here is my favorite recipe for Gluten Free Blueberry Muffins

  1. Love blueberry muffins. My mom used to make them on Sunday mornings. We used to eat hard boiled eggs mashed up with butter (or poached) and the blueberry muffins were the perfect side dish. Thanks for bringing back that memory. :-) I'm glad that those with gluten intolerances and allergies can enjoy muffins. So much of our culture is tied to bread and wheat products.
