Oh, it has been a while.

 First things first, life has been overly busy and not very fun these past few weeks. So it is beyond time for an update. For the first time in.... a long time, I had to put down a book to pick up at a later date. GASP! Notes from the Underground is definitely not the novel to read in the midst of chaos; therefore, I decided it would be best to reintroduce the novel at a later date; maybe the middle of August, things should slow down a bit by then. For the time being though, seeing as I can not seem to go without reading, I picked up Tell-All by Chuck Palahniuk. Thus far, I am intrigued, and of course, when I am finished, I will give it a full review.

As far as baking goes, blueberry streusel muffins need a second go; I do not know if it is the blueberries I used, but there was something lacking in this recipe. I am a firm believer that small bleuberries have an abundance of flavor, while the larger blueberries seem to fall short; plus, the larger are too big to bake with. They did come out pretty though! 

1/3 cup sugar                                                                Streusel topping:

1/4 cup butter, softened                                                 1/2 cup sugar

2 1/3 cup flour                                                               1/2 cup flour

1 egg                                                                             1/2 tsp cinnamon

4 tsp baking soda                                                           1/4 cup butter

1/2 tsp salt

1 cup milk ( I used almond milk as usual)

1 tsp vanilla

1 1/2 cup blueberries

Preheat oven to 375 degrees

Cream together sugar and butter. Add egg, mix well. Combine flour, baking powder, and salt; add to crfeamed mixture alternately with milk. Stir in vanilla. Fold in blueberries.

In a small bowl, combine sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Cut in better until crumbly. Sprinkle over muffins. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, Steusel topping will get a pretty brown color.

As I have been trying to write more as well, there should be a post shortly with a story or two. Enjoy!
