Recipes :: Best Blueberry Muffins

I took a minute this week and recreated these amazing muffins {pssst...this is an updated post from 2011} after finding a heap of beautiful blueberries at our local market. Blueberries are in season across the eastern US - so head out, grab some at your market, pick your own or perhaps you rob your blueberry bush outside your front door {hehe} to create these memorable treats.

Slightly crunch tops on these delicious blueberry muffins will have you indulging in more than one!

Blueberry muffins...I know, seems simple right? And this recipe is simple, but I think they are by far, the best blueberry muffins I've ever had! The flavors of the buttermilk and blueberries together is light, yet creamy and makes a great "wake-up" treat!

The thing that makes these so delicious for me, is the delicate nature of these muffins! I'm used to dense, overly sweet, and super greasy muffins and these are so soft with the crunchy sugary top, moist on the inside and oh so delicious. You can't have just one...Seriously...More pics and full recipe after the jump!

Recipe :: Black Bean & Avocado Salad with Quinoa

I have a new favorite summer salad that I can't stop eating - black beans and avocado with lime. It's the perfect summery mix to take along to a potluck picnic. Or grab some flour tortillas and throw together a vegetarian-friendly wrap. It's guaranteed to delight even the non-vegetarians! For the best results, grab some fresh corn on the cob from your local farmer's market :)

Fresh ingredients ready to go!

Recipes :: Chocolate Pecan Blondies

It's gorgeous weather for a picnic! I know brownies are a big go-to dessert for picnics, but I have a recipe that's just as easy as pouring brownie mix from a box but even more delicious.... BLONDIES!

Blondies are the BFF to brownies and a new favorite of The Caramel Jar families. Chewy, buttery and chocolatey! I am positive that I can convert some of you brownie-holics to the lighter side.

Pass the milk!
