Blueberries and Best Blogging....Hmmmm.

Just for the record...I am NOT a baker! I never have been. And I probably NEVER will be!!! Not even the boxed cake kind, the just add water kind, or maybe not even the microwave kind...although I have never tried that option before.
(Okay, stop laughing!!! I feel bad enough without hearing all of you snickering at me! LOL)
I have never told that to anyone until now. And to tell you the truth I'm not exactly sure why I am confessing this little tidbit about myself, maybe it's therapeutic? (One can only hope right? LOL)
Well, my son has been asking for blueberry muffins. Yes, he has wanted mommy to make some since oh....maybe two months ago! I know, I know...I'm a bad mommy but what can I say, I am just not good at the baking thing okay!!!
In my unimaginable guilt, I decided to surprise him with the blueberry muffins on his return home from school this afternoon. (You all remember...he has been sick and out of school for two WHOLE weeks!!!!) He definitely deserved a little treat. Oh, What Mom's will do for our little ones...even if it means we will possibly be totally embarrassed!
So, go figure...I don't think I have enough oil but I use what I have anyway...and I only have skim milk....so I add it and continue on my journey to bakehood. (Is that a word btw?)
And Voila-here is the result of all my painstaking efforts!

Not to shabby eh? I have to say I was pretty proud of myself...(hence the reason I took the picture, LOL)
So, this was the before....And NOW for the after! (Hang on to your hats)

Okay...so they are a "little" to brown on the bottoms, but that is a whole different can of worms so to speak. (I'm gonna have to go to cooking school to get that timing right! LOL)
I have to say that all in all I was thrilled to have the muffins ready when my son walked in the door. And yes, he was SO happy...that he even wanted to give one to his little neighbor friend. (I sort of cringed when he said it, but gave one anyway...thinking "Oh Dear Lord!".)
To my surprise, he came back with a chocolate chip cookie from her.... :)

And that's not all girlfriends.
