So I just boldly stated to Luke and my parents "I think this was the best blueberry muffin that I've ever had!"  They gave me crazy faces, laughed and told me that I must just be hungry.  But seriously it was.  I tried to get my dad to side with me because he halved it with me, but he just gave me one of those crazy faces.  Then my mom said "It was from Starbucks at the airport and it's been in this brown bag squished in my luggage bag all day."  I don't care, it was the best blueberry muffin ever. 

I actually tried to make blueberry muffins from scratch last week.  It's just not the same.  Have you ever made blueberry muffins from scratch?  They taste weird.  Ironically they taste weird because of the fresh blueberries.  It was too real.   Luke loved them, but I was so disappointed.  I was hoping that the fresh berries would make the muffins even better than the box can, but it was sort of a toss up in looking for a recipe and I didn't know what I was going to get.  It was kinda like ordering strawberry lemonade at a restaurant.

I really enjoy fresh strawberry lemonade, NOT the kind made from a powder.  Sometimes restaurants serve the powder kind and try to pass it off as strawberry lemonade, but I can totally tell the difference and not just because the real kind usually has strawberry shavings in it.  It's like the difference of real fruit vs. strawberry candy.  Strawberry candy tastes nothing like real strawberries, so why is it named "strawberry?"  They should just call it "pink sugar candy." 

                  VS.

So anyway back to the muffin.  If anyone has a recipe for blueberry muffins that taste like the kind you get at a bakery OR even better the kind that you can get at Soupplantation (Christa can actually get pretty close at making those) then PU...LE...ZE share!  Because it hasn't quite hit summertime here so our oven is still in full time operation.

And speaking of recipe's I would love to have.  If anyone knows how to make strawberry lemonade (the real kind) OR the peach ice tea from Olive Garden then I would love to have those as well!
