ReplyDeleteHealthy eating can sometimes be very tricky, especially for us food bloggers! Blueberry muffins are one of my favourites. These look delicious!
ReplyDeleteWe just scored on a massive amount of organic blueberries and muffins are always welcome!!! Love that they don't have too much fat in them, and yogurt always adds a nice tang.
ReplyDeleteBTW... I just love the name of your blog! Every time I see it it just makes me smile!
What a wonderful summer recipe!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to try it.
When you determine how to break the cycle of eating whatever, feeling guilty about it, and trying again-
