Blueberry Muffins

For this weeks Food Network Chefs Cooking Challenge hosted by I Blame My Mother is Alton Brown.  I knew I would have a blast cooking a recipe from  him, but time did I have the time.  So because time is a short and precious thing some weeks, I choose a Blueberry  Muffins recipe.  Boy I am glad I did.  They turned out beautifully fluffy, moist, slightly sweet and absolutely everything I would want in a muffin.  Delicious.

So because time was short, I don’t have my step by step pictures.

But I hope you enjoy these!

I know we sure did!
