Insanely Good Blueberry Muffins

 

I spent the late night last night (think 10:30pm) perusing the aisles of Winco with my lonely self (the babies were home with Jason fast asleep) and I was actually enjoying it. I hate the rushed, whirlwind grocery shopping trips where Koa is hungry for everything that has sugar in it in the store and Norah is tired and grumpy and I am dreading getting home unloading all the groceries by myself. Don't get me wrong, 9 times out of 10 that is what grocery shopping looks like for me, but the 1 out of 10 times I am able to go by myself is actually nice.

Before I left, I copied and pasted some recipes off of Skinnytaste.com and one of them happened to catch my eye: Insanely Good Blueberry Muffins was the title. So I gathered the ingredients in my cart and today Koa and his buddy were able to help me make them! I'll paste the recipe at the end of my blog if you want to try!
