Blueberry Muffins




About 2 years ago I went on a hunt for the perfect Blueberry Muffin.  These were the clear winner.  The light and fluffy base is loaded with sweet blueberries with a light sprinkling of sugar and nutmeg to top it off.  I go through a lot of recipes so you know if I'm still making these two years later they have got to be good!

Blueberry Muffins
from marthastewart.com
1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 cups blueberries
1 1/4 cups sugar (divided)
2 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup nutmeg
Directions:

Preheat oven to 365 degrees. Generously butter a standard 12-cup muffin pan and dust with flour, tapping out excess; set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Working over the bowl, toss blueberries in a fine sieve with about 1 1/2 tsp flour mixture to lightly coat (this will keep the blueberries from sinking to the bottom); set aside the flour mixture and the blueberries.
In the bowl of an electirc mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter and 1 cup sugar on medium-high speed unitl light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, beating until combined. Mix in vanilla.
With the mixer on low speed, add flour mixture, beating until just combined. Add milk, beating until just combined. Do no over mix. Using a rubber spatula, fold in the blueberries. Divide batter evenly among the perpared muffin cups. If desired, in a small bowl, mix together remaining 1/4 cup sugar and nutmeg. Sprinkle sugar mixture on top of muffin batter.
Bake, rotating half-way through, for 20-25 minutes or until muffins are golden brown on top and cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean.

Chicken Salad Sandwiches with Fruit and Almonds

Chicken salad sandwiches seem to be the go to item for baby and bridal showers.  I wanted to make some for the baby shower, but had a dillema.   While I like the main components in the salad, I really do not like the taste of raw onions and celery.  However, I still wanted some crunch and flavor in the salad.

Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps

I am always looking for fast, easy and nutritious meals for my busy weeknight meals.  These wraps have become one of our family favorites.  We serve these with a side of wontons or potstickers to complete the meal. The filling can be made ahead of time and reheated if your day is extra busy. Bibb lettuce is our favorite, but feel free to use iceberg or even romaine for this dish. I hope you enjoy these as much as we do!

Best Ever Chocolate Chip Cookies

The name says it all. These cookies are my (and my husband's) favorite cookies! Not just your average chocolate chip cookies, these babies come out of the oven with a slightly crisp outside while still remaining soft on the inside. Use Ghiradelli Milk Chocolate Chips and you will have achieved chocolate chip cookie perfection!
