So long, Argyle St. Kitchen!

Here it is. My long awaited LAST blog post from the Argyle St. Kitchen.
I can't wait to leave this ugly stove & cramped quarters. Next time you hear from me it will be from my beautiful sparkly new Eastwood Ave. kitchen. Oh, I just can't even wait!

Amidst the boxes and cleaning, I made time to make these blueberry muffins per request of my better half.
Most of the other kitchen supplies are boxed away but I left out the muffin tins and the measuring cups.
For my farewell to Argyle tribute, I share with you

Blueberry Muffins
with two topping options!

I have been o b s e s s e d with a little site called pinterest.com lately. Heard of it? It's to die for! Pages and pages of inspiration and a great place to keep track of the ones that catch your eye... or your stomach.

The recipe came from another blogger. She is blogging her way through the year making food for people she loves. Check it out acooksquest.blogspot.com/2011/04/102-blueberry-muffins.html.
Her instructions are great and easy to follow. And by that I mean, I'm not writing the instructions here :)

Here is what you need (I doubled this and made a full batch with each kind of topping):

Muffins:
2 cups blueberries

1 1/8 cups sugar, plus another teaspoon
1 T water
2 1/2 cups flour
2 1/2 t baking powder
1 t salt
2 large eggs
4 T melted butter
1/4 c vegetable oil
1 cup buttermilk
2 t vanilla extract







Lemon Sugar Topping:
1/3 c sugar
1 1/2 t freshly grated lemon zest


Streusel Topping:
3 T white sugar
3 T brown sugar
1/3 c flour
5 T softened butter






 These were really delish!
