Wild Strawberries?


 These may be wild strawberries but I feel they are descended from a strawberry plant I put in a planter years ago.  The wildlife don't seem to eat them.

Whole Wheat Blueberry Muffins



 I made these blueberry muffins as I had fresh blueberries.  

1 3/4 c whole wheat flour

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp salt

8 tbs unsalted butter (I melted mine)

3/4 c brown sugar

2 eggs

1/2 c flavoured yogurt

2 tsp vanilla

1/4 c milk

1 1/2 c fresh blueberries (frozen would work too)


Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt together.

Mix butter (I melt mine) and sugar together.  Add eggs, yogurt, vanilla, milk.  Add dry ingredients.  Fold in blueberries.

Bake 15 - 20 mins at 425 F in a lined muffin tin.

You can substitute white flour for the whole wheat flour.
