Since my husband and I both bought blueberries on sale, not knowing that the other one had bought them too, we ended up with a lot of blueberries.   An online search at All Recipes.com came up with this recipe, which I modified here and there.  This recipe was such a hit that I made it one day and then made it again two days later.  We did have a house guest to help us eat them!  They were delicious served warm out of the oven and didn’t last very long at all.

INGREDIENTS:

• 2 cups flour (I used 1 & 1/2 cups unbleached flour and 1/2 cup spelt)
• 1/2 cup white sugar plus 4 small scoops of KAL Stevia    (or just 2/3 cup sugar)
• 3 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/3 cup milk
• Blueberry yogurt, 6 ounce carton
• 1/3 cup oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 egg
• 2 cups fresh blueberries

Heat oven to 400 degrees.  Line muffin pans with 15-16 baking cups or grease the bottoms of the muffin pans.  Combine the above ingredients and stir just until the dry ingredients are moistened.  Fill the muffin cups 2/3 full. Sprinkle the tops of the muffins with cinnamon and sugar before baking.

Bake for 20 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.  Serve warm.

1. What’s your favorite flavor of Italian Ice?

Probably strawberry

2. Watermelon. So you prefer seeded or seedless?

I don’t really care as long as it tastes good and sweet!

3. Ice cream. Do you prefer soft serve or hard?

Depends on what I’m in the mood for.  I like both.
4. Ice pops. What kind is your favorite?

I don’t eat ice pops much anymore.  I think about all the food coloring in them and then they don’t appeal to me.

This is a picture of my mother-in-law’s backyard taken several years ago.  She had this beautiful clematis vine, but someone trimmed it back too much and it never has been this full again.

I tried to grow a clematis vine here in Texas once, but it didn’t last long.  I think the direct sun and heat was too much for it.  If I ever decide to try growing one again, I think I’ll plant it in a mostly shady area.

My husband is the one who defragments my computer and the one who helps me with my computer problems. This is what he says:

“One helpful way to keep your computer running at its best is to regularly defragment your hard drive’s files. During the course of normal use, contiguous files become scattered across the disk and are separated from their original locations that were all together in one place. This causes the hard drive to work longer and harder to bring up programs or information. “

Have you noticed insurance premiums going up?  If you have then you might want to check out auto insurance quotes to see if you can find a better deal.  A lot of people are trying to find ways to cut back on expenses and save money where they can.  If money can be saved on car insurance premiums then that would be great!

Here’s a great link to everything you might want to know about eggs: USDA Egg Fact Sheet.   I like being able to find the answer to a question I have about cooking or things involving taking care of my kitchen.   I had a question about how long I could keep egg whites in the fridge, and this site answered my question.   Hope this link is useful to you, too.
