Blueberries!

I love this time of year. The blueberries are in season and they are oh so yummy. I saw them in large quanities, cheap and I did a little dance right there in the HEB Store. SO I decided it was muffin time. I have made these muffins before and I like them but this time they weren't quite as delicious as I remembered. The recipe is from the CIA's Baking at home cookbook. They turned out well but they were a bit too cakey and sweet for me. I still have lots of berries though and if I can stop eating them straight out of the fridge I'll try and make some more muffins or maybe a pie. yum yum.

You Scream!

For Ice Cream!
I got an ice cream maker a few weeks ago and have been obsessed. It is so fun and easy to use. I have made cinnamon, spicy hot chocolate, five spice chocolate and blackberry ice cream so far. The blackberry was a lot of fun. I went up to the hill country and picked the berries with my mother-in-law and had a blast. They are yummy. Then I used a recipe I found on the web at http://nosheteria.com/dailyspecial/2005/09/fresh-blackberry-ice-cream.html. The original recpe is from the Greenmarket Cookbook and it is heavenly. It tastes like fresh blackberries but is very smooth and creamy. yum yum. Anyway I am always up for new ice cream flavor ideas so if you have some let me know.
