Blueberry deliciousness!

When I was bored out of my mind and wishing there was something I could bake, I went for a search for a good muffin recipe. I decided to go with a blueberry muffin. Not only is this a blueberry muffin, but I made it with fresh picked blueberries. (YUM!) Here's a pic below and the recipe! Try and enjoy! Seriously! 

HERE'S ALL IT TAKES

wet ingredients

• 3/4 cup fresh milk
• 1/2 cup applesauce OR oil
• 1 fresh egg

dry ingredients

• 2 cups flour
• 2/3 cup sugar
• 3 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 cup fresh blueberries

Heat oven to 400ºF.  Butter bottoms of a 12-muffin cup pan.

Beat milk, applesauce, and egg in a medium bowl.  Add in flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt, all at once.  Stir until flour is just moistened; batter will be lumpy.  Fold in blueberries. Do not over stir the batter.

Use a large cookie dough scooper to fill muffin cups 3/4 full.  Bake until golden brown, 16 to 20 minutes.  Immediately remove from pan.

Store cooled muffins in a container with a loose fitting lid and enjoy them later on in your day

Trying something new

First trip to Winnipeg MB with Brayden

This weekend Brayden decided to take a couple days off work, and take me on a trip to Winnipeg so we could get out of the house and do something besides sit on the couch and eat! (Brayden thinks that this is all that I do) 

This is the first thing we did when we got there. Sat in Jens living room (Brayden's aunties) and watched the Olympics on TV and ATE some pringles. Big change huh? At least it was a new environment right? :)

On the last day of hanging out in Winnipeg, Braydens buddy Dan brought us to a indoor go-carting rink. Or in Braydens words a, "Goat-Carting rink" haha We thought it would only take an hour or so, but it took about 4 it was so darn busy! Those darn Canadians!

p.s. Brayden didn't have closed toed shoes with him for go-carting, so he had to rent some sexy velcro shoes from the rink. Also he had no socks, he might have caught like foot fungus. ICK!!

When we were on our way home I was starving, so Brayden and I decided Tim Hortons would be the best option. Wow I must say that I have found my new obsession/love. I tried the Iced mocha latte and a turkey club, now if you know me as well as Brayd does he knows that no matter what I order to eat I will pick it apart and throw about half of it away. Well I am proud to say that I made the clean paper club! I didn't pick anything off of my sandwhich or anything! I love love love Tim Hortons. If you have not gone there, GET THERE! :)

Finally we are happy and excited to be on our way back to Baudette/Rainy to see my WONDERFUL family that is all up. We had a good quick trip and spent a few bucks in the process:) Brayd if you are reading this, Thank you for taking me for my first trip to Winnipeg!!!!!! :)
