Looking at these muffins, I’m utterly craving one again. They’re that good. Just look at the name description! You can’t title something “to die for” if it’s just mediocre. They’ve got to knock your socks off, wipe you off your feet, and make you speechless at the same time.

Have I convinced you to make these blueberry muffins yet?

No? Okay, I’ll keep going.

Look at the rise on these muffin tops! The golden color around the rim! The bright blueberry color ever so slightly bleeding through the muffin liner!

The crumb topping. You guys, THE CRUMB TOPPING.

Great– now my stomach’s growling. I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves.

I’ve recently discovered the magic of YouTube workout videos. It’s so much easier to maintain a workout schedule when you can do it anywhere at your convenience. Plus, there are thousands to choose from. Don’t like a certain trainer? Change it.

I’ve been partial to PopSugarTVFit and BeFit. It may not be much, but it’s certainly enough for me to feel it in my glutes. My DB does Insanity and at first, I thought I’d give it a go before I tried anything else.

It was bad news bears within the first five minutes. I only lasted seven minutes into the warm up before I was lying on the floor with the wind knocked out of me. How in the world do people do Insanity? It’s not only impossible but definitely unsafe… Well, for people that haven’t worked out in ten years, anyways.

I think I’ll stick to my kitchen workouts. Lifting 25 pound bags of flour and sugar is my kind of workout. These blueberry muffins are from AllRecipes.

Happy summer! Have I apologized lately about how I severely suck at posting during June, July, and August? Without fail, summer comes around and my computer collects a layer of dust while I’m out enjoying the weather. Basically, I get lazy. Instead of baking, I’ll fall asleep under an umbrella in my backyard or on the beach.

Since I’m partially living at my parent’s house at the moment, I’m spoiled by not having to cook dinner. I can get away with showing up around dinner time with food ready to eat.

My dad does, however, constantly asks for sweets. That is one thing that is not made in the house when I’m away: dessert.

That’s also one thing I can and will gladly do.

I love baking with fruits during the summer because grocery stores are overflowing with ripe, plump, and colorful goods. Nothing screams summer more than fresh berries, pineapple, and watermelon!

Don’t get too caught up in the office this summer. Go out and enjoy this glorious weather! We haven’t quite hit the 90’s yet where I live, so this mid 80 degree weather calls out to me every day.

I don’t really bake with blackberries too often, so the amount of seeds in these muffins caught me off guard. Do people actually like biting into all those little blackberry seeds? I never notice them when eating the fruit as is, but in desserts, I feel as if you need to crush and strain the blackberries before adding them in.

Then again, that would defeat the purpose of having whole fruit mixed into the batter. You’d be adding more of a jam swirl into these muffins if you did that.

In the end, it’s really all about personal preference. I thought there were way too many blackberries and it overpowered the batter. I’d halve the amount of blackberries and deseed them prior to adding them in next time. Recipe from Scarletta Bakes.
