Blueberry Streusel Muffins
This is such a yummy blueberry muffin! I adapted the recipe from one I found in an older cookbook I have, The Great American Baking Book. These muffins have nice rounded tops and a sweet, crunchy streusel topping. And there are lots of juicy blueberries in them, too!

Garden Update: Late Summer
I thought I’d better post a summer garden update before summer is over! 🙂 Even though we had a lot of hot, dry weather this summer, my flowers and herbs did pretty well. I have a lot of sun in my yard, so I always try to buy plants that do well in full sun.…

Basil Mayonnaise
The first time I had basil mayonnaise was over 10 years ago, when I bought a jar of it to try out at Williams-Sonoma. As soon as I tasted it I was hooked! It was my new favorite thing to spread on bread and use in sandwiches.
