Happy Memorial Day! Thank you to the service men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. I hope you are able to spend some time with your family today. We are getting together for my sweet niece’s birthday. Hard to believe she will be four this year! Alex and Abby are always buddies when we are able to get together. He thinks she is just hilarious, and she is so sweet with him. I wish my whole family could be together, but Bernie will be at work today. I look forward to the years when we can all be together on holidays! Including Willa – maybe one day she won’t be so hyper and we can take her with us!
Now, on to the food. We love berries, all three of us! Alex loves fresh berries, right now he calls any berry BBs. I can’t wait until we can go and pick our own at Huber’s Farm this year – those are the best. Blueberry muffins are Bernie’s favorite so when the blueberries were on sale at the grocery last week, I knew what I was going to make. With a name that says these muffins are “to die for,” we had high expectations, and they were met. These muffins are huge! You could definitely get more than eight servings if you want a more standard sized muffin. This recipe calls for a sugary topping and while it adds a little something extra, they are good without (Alex didn’t get the extra sugar). On that note, the original recipe calls for much more streusel topping than you need, so I halved it. This recipe is one of the reasons I love Allrecipes, with over 6,000 reviews, I knew these muffins were going to be delicious!
