Bestest Blueberry Muffins

 This morning, I made what is quite possibly the best blueberry muffin I've ever tasted. That sounds quite a lot like bragging, but it's really delicious, and I love food, so I thought I'd share the recipe I used.  So that you too, can have this amazingness for breakfast(or anytime, really). 

Adapted from here. 

Bestest Blueberry Muffins- makes about a dozen muffins

Muffins:
2 3/4 c. flour
3/4 c. white sugar
1 T. baking powder
1/8 t. fine salt
1/8 t. nutmeg
3 T. veggie oil
6 T. applesauce
1 c. milk
 2 eggs
2 T. lemon zest
1/2 t. vanilla
1 1/2 c. blueberries (preferably fresh, but rinsed and thawed if frozen)

Glaze:

about 1/3 c. brown sugar
2-3 t. lemon juice
1 T. lemon zest

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 F.
Whisk together dry ingredients.
Mix in wet ingredients until just mixed, batter will be lumpy.
Fold in blueberries.
Pour into greased muffin tins.

Put in the oven.
Mix together the brown sugar and lemon juice/zest, as it's baking.
After 20 min. put about 1/2 teaspoon of glaze over each muffin, covering it, and place back in oven for 5 min.  (total cooking time: 25 min.)

Eat these right away, and they're just amazing.

I'm usually not a big fan of blueberry muffins, but these were blue-berry-y and moist and tangy and delicious. 


Enjoy!

Well I won't be found

 The other day my wonderful friend Abigail and I decided to dress up and take pictures.  We nearly froze, and Abigail was tired but we persevered and had lots of fun.  Here are some of the results.  :)

we called this one "romance with a tree" ;)

Well if I ever see the morning
Just like a lizard in the spring
I’m gonna run out in the meadow
To catch the silence when it sings

I’m gonna force the Serengeti
To disappear into my eyes
Then when I hear your voices callin’
I’m gonna turn just inside out
Well if I ever get to slumber
Just like a mole deep in the ground
Well, I won’t be found

Deep in the dust forgotten gathered
I grow a diamond in my chest
I make reflections as the moon shines on
Turn to a villain as I rest
Well if I ever get to slumber
Just like a mole deep in the ground
Well, I won’t be found

 I know there is a hollow
I need to fill it with a draft
Of all the words that I wont way
And with a quiet whisper
I send a curse upon the day
That never used the sun to see
The light

I’m gonna float up in the ceiling
I built a levee of the stars
And in my field of tired horses
I built a freeway through this farce

Well if I ever get that slumber
Ill be that mole deep in the ground
And I won’t be found

 My camera was acting up and our light was almost gone at this point though. 

Happy Monday :)

p.s. this

I like the cold.

I AM… Lillian.

I WANT…  to live my live to the glory of God and be the woman He wants me to be.  

I HAVE… more than I deserve. 

I KEEP… tickets and letters and photos and stubs of things.

I WISH I COULD… fly {like peter pan}, and visit far off lands.  

I HATE… goodbyes, labels {not clothing labels, people labels}

I FEAR…  losing my family.
I HEAR…  the rumbling of my stomach.

messing around in photoshop.  I am just so clever.

I DON'T THINK…  that I am grown up yet.   

I REGRET…  every time I've let down my parents.
I LOVE…  my family, my God, mounded up comforters on a cold morning, cold apple cider, hot tea, knitting, reading a good book at two in the morning, organizing things, getting dressed, thick socks, yummy smelling body spray, hair ribbons, taking pictures in the quiet, laughing, playing guitar all alone, singing loudly til someone tells me to stop, listening to powerful music, wind in my face.

I AM NOT… fluent in french… yet. 
I DANCE…  everywhere.
I SING…  all the time.
I NEVER…  seem to be thouroughly satisfied with any artistic endevour.

I RARELY…  hang up all my laundry.
I CRY WHEN…  my friendships are rocky.

I AM NOT ALWAYS… awake.       
I'M CONFUSED ABOUT… most things, most of the time, especially math things. 

I NEED…  Jesus' patience and love. 
I SHOULD…  get off the computer, and go to sleep.  Like, now.

Goodnight.  ♥
