Blue Saturday

People in New England love their fresh blueberries. Not me, I'm more of a strawberry or apple season person myself. I don't really care for fresh blueberries, but if you bake them into something, like muffins, I'm there! Yesterday, one of EJ's best gal pals came and picked her up to go blueberry picking (followed by swimming at her grandma's pool). EJ had a terrific time!


This morning, we had planned to make blueberry muffins for breakfast. Sophie must have thought they were going to be ready at the crack of dawn, as she awoke at 5:45 AM! K brought her down for a bottle, and then they snuggled in on the couch to snooze a little longer.



EJ loves to bake...


Here, she's adding the secret ingredient, lemon zest! The original recipe calls for lemon zest, but I usually use orange zest. Alas, there were no oranges in the house this morning, so we improvised.


Sophie was starting to wonder if she was going to get any blueberries or if she would have to stick to her boring Cheerios.


But, we did give her Apple Banana Blueberry baby food today!


EJ made a tray of bite-sized (or Sophie-sized) muffins. She pronounced them delicious...


...and so did Sophie. Sophie's going to want EJ to make her breakfast all the time!
