Orange-blueberry muffin top

I'm normally an on the run person in the morning. It takes forever to get me to crawl out of bed, and so for breakfast I want something I can grab real quick. Normally I just buy some breakfast bars, but I thought why not make my breakfast this week. So I went ahead and created these lovely muffin tops.

Ingredients
1 cup of fresh blueberries
1 1/2 cups of all purpose flour
12 tbs of butter, softened
3/4 cup of sugar
1 large egg
3/4 tsp of baking soda
1 orange
3/4 cup of buttermilk
1 cup of sifted powdered sugar

Directions
Preheat over to 425 and line baking sheets with parchment paper.

Combine blueberries and a tbs of flour, and set aside.
In a mixer with paddle attachment, cream butter and sugar.
Add and mix the egg.
Add the flour and baking soda until everything is combined.
Zest the orange and add the dough.
With the mixer on low slowly pour in buttermilk.
Once everything is together, add the blueberries and fold everything together.
Use a standard size ice cream scoop and scoop out dough on baking sheet.
Bake for 11 minutes, or until lightly brown.
While baking, combine the juice of the orange with the powdered sugar.
Drizzle glaze on baked muffin tops.

Changes I Made!
I don't have a stand alone mixer, so I used my handheld. Had to be very careful about adding in the buttermilk and flour, by adding a little at a time.
I also skipped the glaze because it added a sweetness level these muffins do not need.
I did swap out the blueberries for chocolate chips, and it came out amazing.

"A Farewell to Arms" Mac N Cheese

I love reading, so when I was given The Book Lovers Cook Book it was a dream come true. I have a deep love for The Lost Generation, so this recipe sneaked in between a quote from Gertrude Stein, and a passage from Ernest Hemingway's "A Farewell to Arms" was a perfect start for me.

Baked Potato Soup

Baked potato soup is one of the first soups I learned how to make, and this recipe is my go to recipe, especially in the middle of winter, because most of the ingredients I have on hand at all times. Ingredients 2 medium potatoes, bakes and cooled 1 can of chicken broth 2 tbs of sour cream 1/8 tsp of pepper 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese Directions Peel potatoes and cut into 1/2 inch cubes. Place 1/2 of the potato in a blender and with chicken broth. Pour mix into sauce pan and add remaining potato, sour cream and pepper. Cook over low heat until heated through. Garnish with shredded cheddar cheese, and whatever else you want. Changes I made! I do not mess with this recipe except what I add on top when I eat. This recipe is from Taste of Home.

Stuffed portobello

This is a dish I always heard about, but have never actually had, until I made it myself for this blog.
