something happened yesterday.
yesterday was the day i had the BEST BLUEBERRY MUFFINS EVER. and not only was i lucky enough to enjoy this treat... i baked it! when jamie made these delectable looking blueberry muffins i immediately demanded requested the recipe! best. decision. of. my. life. not only are the deliciously rich they are light and fluffy at the same time! they are bursting with blueberry goodness and topped with heavenly cinnamon brown sugar crumb topping. serve it with some orange green tea, a good book {aka a guilty pleasure read no doubt}, a sunny afternoon, and sufjan softly playing in the background? hello perfection. winter is for pumpkin muffins, rich chocolate muffins, insanely incredible cinnomon muffins... but spring? spring time is the most perfect time for a to die for blueberry muffins.
