Blueberry Muffins from Scratch
OK, the location I described is where these blueberry muffins from scratch came to be. At our small cottage on a small lake in the Middle of Nowhere, Wisconsin. It’s my happy place, especially in the summertime with our boys. Today, these muffins sealed the deal to my sentiments.

Maybe it’s because blue has always been my favorite color. Maybe it’s because I grew up picking blueberries in the wild, the better part of half a century ago with my mom at my side and a tin pail tied around my waste. Maybe it’s because summer is my favorite season. Truly, it’s because these blueberry muffins from scratch are so easy to make and equally wonderful to enjoy.

With just a pinch of a pinch of raw, turbinado sugar as a topping, each bite is met with a light but discernible crunch, followed by the soft, warm explosion of a round of blueberries from within.
