Blueberry scones

Freshly baked

There's a very strong smell theme of "blueberries" that's been appearing recurrently throughout my foodie posts. Blame it on my taste buds, but these little gems are undeniably delightful (and healthy too!). They're delicious alone, in muffins (see my recipe here), or on pancakes with whipped cream. However, I've recently discovered that they also complement scones quite nicely. The inspiration behind this baking venture came mainly from a recent Vogue cooking video I watched (have a look here by yourself). Some of the ingredients were tricky to acquire where I was, and I also needed a recipe that minimized preparation time but could still maximize product quantity. So after a quick browse on Google, I managed to find my winner. And boy were the scones positively addictive - it was fun making them too!

A good way to de-stress and to make your tummy happy - that's my final verdict.

Blueberry muffins

Good morning Wednesday

The "proper" way to start the day

I guess you can say (or tell) that I'm MAD about baking. Be it cakes, pies, cookies or even the odd meringue every so often, any oven-related cooking task is enough to keep me merry for the whole day (even if the day itself turns out to be quite a disaster).

I'm not sure why I haven't talked about this recipe before - oh well it's here now. Blueberry muffins are probably my to-go-for comfort food or breakfast choice for a sunny and early weekday morning. I probably should create my own recipe but I, personally, don't feel I'm at that level just yet (but I will be able to do so soon - I promise!). Anyhow, here's one of my all-time favorite blueberry muffin recipes. And if you do make them, I suggest baking them in colorful cupcake holders like the ones in my picture - life should be colorful, not plain.

Start your day off well - give the below recipe a shot :) xxx
