I'm playing catch up on a lot of posts/recipes from January, February and March. So, bare with me while I bombard my blog with those posts. Hopefully once they're done, I can get back to posting in real-time.






Blueberry Muffins.

At work we used to sell blueberries in 3 pull apart packs. It was one of the most random items in our store and they were very rarely bought. The day we pulled them off the shelf, there were atleast 8 to 10 packs of perfectly good blueberries. So, I took them home and said I'd return with something baked... here it is! They came out really good. I like blueberries, but I like them plain more than anything. I love muffins, but I'm kinda picky on which ones I eat and blueberry muffins are definitely not my top 3. The muffin mix itself was super moist and made for a really good muffin base. The crumb topping was the best part, as most crumb toppings are! Unfortunately I never took pictures of the finished product on a plate, silly me. Also, any picture I've taken so far have been taken with my Blackberry camera, which is a bit sucky. Eventually I'd like to get a better camera to take food pictures with, but it'll have to do for now. Onto the recipe!
