I fondly remember the first thing I ever baked was a blueberry cake.
We have a little yellow stool that belonged to my great-grand mom, and when I was younger, I would move it into the corner of the kitchen to cook with my mom. One night, I decided to bake a blueberry cake. The base of it was Bisquick, and from what I remember, it was really quite good. Pity I don't remember how I made it.
My love for these beautiful berries developed early. Even today, it makes me giddy to just think about baking something with blueberries. It's always a treat for me since they are only on sale for a few weeks out of the entire year. We've stocked up on them plenty this season, so I'm looking forward to blueberry muffins in the winter.
On a side note, as you can tell Living the Gourmet is still not quite on it's feet yet. I know many of you have inquired about getting updates, and even requested that I write up a post in the near future about our journey from Blogger to WordPress. I would be happy to do so. There are quite a few questions I still have myself, so I think we could all really benefit from it. I will be planning a series of posts here on LTG that will focus entirely on becoming a website. For the time being however, if you are still experiencing problems receiving our updates on your Blog Reader, may I suggest signing up via email. It's really simple to do. The subscription box is right on the sidebar. 🙂
In the meantime, I hope you enjoy these Brown Sugar Blueberry Muffins. They are a fabulous treat in the morning with coffee. The crumble and drizzle are optional, but are totally worth the extra bit of time.

Blueberries (and blackberries) are my favorite fruit. I also like a brown sugar topping on muffins, but for some reason have never put it on blueberry muffins.
Thank you for sharing with See Ya in the Gumbo this week. My husband likes these muffins so much that he picked them to feature when this week's party goes up tonight.

Yummmmm! My friend Deb from Frugal Little Bungalow sent me over as she knows I am always looking for fun things to bake with my Granddaughter. She is spending the night tomorrow and there are blueberries in the fridge. I think she and I may need to make these for Grampy on Sunday morning!
