Easy Saturday Morning Blueberry Muffins




  You will start to notice that I use the word easy a lot.  Truth is I like things that are easy.  Don't most people?  I don't have enough time in the day to always do some elaborate creation.  Don't get me wrong, I enjoy that sometimes. But, not always in my kitchen and not always with my kids around.  Kids like to complain if things take to long.   Sometimes I just need to throw some thing together and be done. Plus, anything that is quick and easy typically means less dishes which I am always for! Dishes are my worst enemy and they attack me daily.  It's a never ending battle of dishes in my sink. Ughh!

  Most weekends are filled with things to do. If we don't have any sports or plans for the weekend, we create a plan.  I like getting the kids out of the house even if it's a trip to the park or library.  Anything to get them in a different environment and not make a mess in the house...is that even possible?  I swear these kids can destroy a clean room in a matter of minutes.  We actually call Kaine, our youngest, Hurri"KAINE" sometimes.  He will turn a room upside down in a second if you don't keep your eye on him.  Cutest little thing you will ever see but he is a monster, destroyer and a HurriKaine!

  As you can tell these kids keep me pretty busy.  I'm sure most parents can relate.  So, these muffins are perfect.  They are an easy thing to make in the morning and pop in the oven. Your kids can even help if they want. I use one bowl and the food processor.  Well, maybe some measuring cups and spoons too but really that's kind of a given, right?  Oh, and talk about easy clean up, I use silicone baking cups.  These things are awesome! If you haven't tried them you should.  They are great and dishwasher safe.  Really there is no negative to these things.  You always have them on hand and easy clean up.  SOLD!  These muffins will start your morning off right.  It's an easy process, clean up and doesn't take long.  It's a win win for everyone!
