There is something so comforting about Southern Recipes. Back in the day, when we stayed in Phoenix, we used to have so many blueberry bushes around our house and we used to get turned or berry picking and then using them every day to make endless recipes.
My best friend Addie I used to experiment with these berries all day in the kitchen. From boiling them with some sugar and lemon juice to make a compote to a cobbler to drinks, it was just so fun.
Since, I moved here in Cleveland, all I could get my hands onto are frozen Blueberries.
However, be it frozen or fresh blueberries, a classic Blueberry muffin is something that always makes me smile and takes me back to my days in the South
