Juice craze or just plain crazy?

I suppose I am late to the game here, but how does everyone feel about the whole juice/smoothie craze?  I've been reading lately that it is much healthier to "drink" your breakfast and I was curious to see if that is how any of you roll in the morning!  I'd love to give that a go in 2014 (which is super weird to write) and would be so appreciative if you all had suggestions!  Feel free to email or comment!

I loved this recipe that I found from Verily Magazine, definitely made the skeptic in me happy!  Check it out below (if you click the picture it will lead you to their website, which you should all check out!)

Delicious Blueberry Muffins

Is anyone planning on cooking brunch for Easter?  Whether you are or aren't this easy-to-make muffins can be changed to your liking (chocolate, strawberries, bananas, etc...) What I've created is an simple muffin base that can change depending on the day you want to eat them!


Ingredients:
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 2 cups flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 milk (I always add a splash more but you really have to eye this one.  Don't let them get to watery, but don't let them be too dry)
  • 1/2 tsp  vanilla
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped blueberries (or something else if you'd prefer that)

Directions:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees and spray muffin pan to set aside.  You can either cook these in cupcake holders or without, it doesn't matter
  • Mix butter and sugar together in a mixing bowl.  Add in egg and beat.
  • Add flour, baking powder and salt into the bowl and mix.  Add in your milk and then vanilla.
  • Gently stir in your choice of fruit (or chocolate)
  • Sprinkle some sugar on top!
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean!

Enjoy!
