Mmmmmm Blueberries

I think I'm getting the hang of discerning which recipes will be good and which aren't. This is a really nice recipe for blueberry muffins found at http://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/blueberry_muffins/#ixzz3QK6hUkKbat They are buttery, and lemony, with just the right zip of blueberry. I would say they are delicate, and yet, I can see manly men digging into them. They aren't health food by any means. There's a lot of fat and sugar in them. I wouldn't eat them on a regular basis, but they would be a great treat for spring and summer events.

I made a few adjustments to the recipe. It called for just a teaspoon of lemon zest. Well, if I'm going to zest a lemon, I'm going to zest the whole thing. So, I used all the zest. It also called for a cup and a half of blueberries. I bought a 16 ounce container. I cleaned and sorted them, and used the whole container. It was only a bit more than a cup and a half. Finally, I used a cup and a half of yogurt rather than sour cream. I didn't have that much sour cream, and it tasted great. Dad, I know how much you love blueberries. I've thrown a few in the freezer and I'll bring you a couple when I get down there next.

I think I still have a few more muffin recipes I want to try before I move on to something new. I hope you guys don't mind.
