Today, I am pretending to be a fancy food blogger. I tried to make this muffin look yummy and inspiring. K has never had a blueberry muffin and this special muffin was the result of a long search for a recipe that fit her needs. And yes it is gluten-, egg-,dairy-, and soy-free. And it was yummy. I poured the batter in the muffin tins and guess what it did while it baked? It rose! I know, big deal to most bakers, but seriously when you take the gluten and the eggs out of baking, getting things to raise is impressive, and if they don't flop, even more amazing. And did I mention these muffins were delicious? Soft and not too dense, also impressive for gluten-free baking. I was so pleased. Everyone liked the muffins, except K who picked the day I baked these to not like blueberries! My response? "That's not a choice today. Eat your muffin." She did, though she didn't it very much. Too used to the typical dense gluten-free bread I guess. Poor girl. For my friends who share a some of our food issues (or just curious bakers), here is the link for this recipe. Note:I used sorghum flour instead of buckwheat flour simply because that's what I had and sorghum almost always works in gf baking.

And friends, this lady has great gf recipes, many of them allergen-free, even one for dairy-free peach ice cream! I will be reading Karina's recipes regularly.
To continue the blueberry theme, all five us (and Cody makes five) went to The Berry Patch today. I was hoping to pick more berries since it only took us about a week to get through the 7.25 lbs the girls and I picked the first time. I hoped that taking the men with us would yield sufficient quantities to freeze enough to get us through to next season, as we love blueberry pancakes and blueberries on our cereal. I was not disappointed. We picked 23.25lbs!Woo-hoo! We are in the process of freezing them (if you freeze them on cookie sheets first, then when you put them in a container to store they don't stick together). I never thought this was possible, but I am sick of blueberries, though they do make for a pretty picture on the top of my blog.

we freeze them often and just put the whole gallon ziplock into the freezer and never have any sticking--it sound laborous to freeze them all your way!
Andre and the boys also went berry picking in WI and brought a few gallons back! Yum! I'll try the recipe.
What the whooaaaa!! I hve to check out this new template!!! NICE!!
Yes the only thing is MAYBE after time they might freeze together in your conventional fridge. Deep freeze is best b/c it never drops temp to defrost itself.
Wowo you guys are suppper pickers! And the muffin does look great!!!
Those muffins look fantastic! They actually make me want to go and bake some up myself.
23 pounds! Holy moly! I'm happy for you that you find a nice muffin recipe. You are very persistent , I like that about you. :)
