Just one bite of one of a blueberry muffins, my mind drifts back in time . . .
Growing up in Louisiana, blueberry muffins were one of my very favorite things to make. Also, one of my father’s favorite things to eat. Suppose that’s the reason I enjoyed making them so much and still do. Reminds me of our time spent gardening, raising chickens, doing projects around the house, and summer dinners on the front porch. Simple times.
What foods remind you of your childhood? Do you have a special recipe to share? Please send them along . . .
I am looking forward to hearing from you!
