Really yummy... Blueberry Muffins

I had some fresh blueberries and was trying to find a way to use them. I read this blog Recipe for Disaster? every now and again and they had just posted a recipe for blueberry muffins. Just in the nick of time! I tried it and they were awesome! I'm going to try another recipe this weekend and I'll let you know which one I like better.


To Die For Blueberry Muffins

From: Jennie

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup white sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 egg
1/3 cup milk
1 cup fresh blueberries
1/2 cup white sugar
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup butter, cubed
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease muffin cups or line with muffin liners.

Combine 1 1/2 cups flour, 3/4 cup sugar, salt and baking powder. Place vegetable oil into a 1 cup measuring cup; add the egg and enough milk to fill the cup. Mix this with flour mixture. Fold in blueberries. Fill muffin cups right to the top, and sprinkle with crumb topping mixture.

To Make Crumb Topping: Mix together 1/2 cup sugar, 1/3 cup flour, 1/4 cup butter, and 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon. Mix with fork, and sprinkle over muffins before baking.

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes in the preheated oven, or until done.

TJ makes me laugh

Tonight TJ had DA and I giggling through his bedtime prayer. He is so sweet and earnest, yet the things he says! First off, you shouldn't be in any hurry. His prayers are VERY thorough and long. But tonight he was listing off his usual things and then added he was thankful for mom and her knitting, and that Dad could go to work and go golfing. But what really had us giggling was when he said he was thankful for waking up in the morning and putting on clean underwear.

I guess we all have our priorities!

Google Reader and stuff

Where have you been hiding? Or am I the one who has been hiding under a rock? I finally set it up and I can't tell you how awesome it is to click one link and see all the blogs that have been updated instead of clicking each.... and... every.... link.... I have saved in my favorites.

I'm in love!

Not much to update on us. AM is still stripping and has acquired rather amazing skills in duct tape removal.

TJ is loving soccer and I saw a lot of improvement at the last game. A few times he was actually ahead of the crowd near the ball instead of running around at the back of the herd.

DA is still playing golf but the cold weather is hampering that a bit.

And I'm still taking care of it all. Nothing much changes!
