It's a new day!
Yesterday was so much fun at the sale barn I was too tired to sleep last night. So, this morning I decided to do something non cow. For a change of pace Jake and I went blueberry picking. Jake just loves blueberries and gets to pick the berries from the lower branches. I have several recipes which use blueberries, but my favorite is a muffin recipe my friend Gina's mother created. Her parents had a blueberry farm in south Georgia and her mom spent years perfected these muffins.
Gina's Mother's Blueberry Muffins
1 3/4 cups plain flour 1 egg
3/4 cup sugar 1/2 cup milk
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder 1/3 cup oil
3/4 teaspoon salt 1 cup blueberries
Sift flour, sugar, baking powder and salt together into a medium bowl. Mix egg, milk and oil together in a small bowl and add to the flour mixture. Stir just until everything is moist but not smooth. Fold in blueberries. Spoon into a greased 12 count muffin pan. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 - 25 minutes or until brown.
Blueberry facts:
1) picking blueberries is calming
2) Jake only picks what he can eat
3) sharing warm blueberry muffins is calming
