Blueberry Muffins via cake mix

 
I think I am back!!! I have to blog strictly using my phone but this is doable, I think!!

These were a huge success in our house!! and even better because I have gone into the lazy mode of baking and cooking. Sweet heart loved them so much that she pranced around singing while holding two muffins in hand "oh, I wish I were the muffin man!"

Can't you just smell them?? ...inhale deeply!

They were uber easy to make! They only changes I made were I used a yellow cake mix and I chose to use a few table spoons of flour to generously dust my blueberries. They were frozen and I knew the flour would prevent them from sinking to the BOTTOM, like the old titanic!

I found my recipe through pinterest and went to this blog! There were not many comments and usually I like to read all the comments so I can avoid any pit falls or alter accordingly!


BLUEBERRY MUFFINS

1 1/2 to 2 cups fresh blueberries (dusted with flour if frozen)

1 package of white cake mix (I used yellow)

1 package of instant vanilla pudding
 
4 eggs

1/2 cup oil

3/4 cup milk

1 teaspoon almond extract or vanilla (I loved the almond flavor)

BEAT everything all together (except for blueberries) until well blended and smooth around 3 minutes with an electric mixer, then fold in the blueberries at the end.
Fill muffin cups 3/4 full and bake 350 for 20 to 25 minutes. Bake at 350 until browned.

She also suggest adding a streusel topping by combining 1/2 flour, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoon softened butter and 1/4 cup chopped walnuts mixed all together evenly. Sprinkle a little on each muffin before baking. If you do try this recipe! Leave me a comment and pop on over to this blog and let her know how much you loved it also!

The editing software for my android isn't the best! But, I'm glad I can post now!!

How to make an apron from a man's dress shirt

Another one of my pins. We are having a Young Women's in Excellence night and it is a RECIPE/COOKING theme. I thought I would make these quickly for my daughters. I read all 3 tutorials and then I basically took all three and winged it and did my own, mixing a little from here and a little from there.

I DO NOT SEW
I DO NOT SEW
I DO NOT SEW

Let me repeat, I do not sew. I can do your basic and my first apron took me an hour and the second apron took me 30 minutes. (ruffles included) So, If I choose to make one for myself perhaps I could get it down to 15 minutes.

WOULD I do this craft again?? HECK YEAH!!! super easy and super cute. I'm thinking christmas or birthday gifts. Pair it with a cook book or a recipe or even a cookie mix in a jar. Endless possibilities! While cleaning I had a woman ask me, "where did I get such a cah-ute apron?" I gleamed with pride and replied, "moi"!

The three sites that I was inspired from was
