Yummy Blueberry Muffins

Yummy Blueberry Muffins!

Yesterday, baking a batch of Yummy Blueberry Muffins was on my agenda.  In the summer when the local fresh blueberries are "in season" my "to do" list includes purchasing/ cleaning/ and freezing the local berries.  Then, whenever blueberries are needed for a recipe, I reach into our freezer and take out a bag.  The day before a bag of frozen blueberries is needed it is placed in our fridge to defrost overnight.   

Yummy Blueberry Muffins is a dessert that is easy to prepare and tastes so good.  After they are baked there is always a "taste test"!  That is a great excuse to enjoy a warm muffin.  My recipe makes 22- 23 muffins, so half of them are always saved to enjoy in the next few days.  The other half?  They are placed in freezer bags and into the freezer they go.  It is a great treat to find them in a few weeks.   

I have been baking these muffins for so many years!  A small amount of cinnamon adds to the delicious taste.  They are definitely a family favorite!

Click here for the recipe!  If you do not have frozen blueberries in your freezer, purchase a container of fresh blueberries to bake a batch!

Enjoy!
Yummy!

For so many years I baked a yummy CranOrange Cake for my family to enjoy after Christmas dinner.  Then, for some reason that I cannot remember, I did not bake it.  A few years after that, this special cake became known as "the cranberry cake you used to bake".  After this cake drought this yummy treat found its way to our table, again.  Then, once again I stopped baking it.  Over this past weekend I surprised my family!  "The cranberry cake you used to bake" was enjoyed for dessert.  Slices were served with small scoops of vanilla ice cream!  It brought back memories from long ago!  The cake?  Oh, it was delicious!  So good!!  During this year I will once again take out my tube cake pan and bake another one to surprise them again. 

I bake this cake in my tube baking pan rather than using a bundt pan, because it works better.         

Ready to be placed in the oven!
