BLUEBERRY MUFFINS

There's just so many delicious reasons for me to thank the ladies that wrote The Best of Bridge cookbooks.  I can't even begin to name all the recipes from The Best of Bridge that I've claimed as my own over the years. 

If I'm ever stuck on what to make for just about any occasion, or just wanting to fall back on the tried and true, I open my Red, Green, Yellow, Black, Blue or that other Green Best and Bridge and dive in with confidence.

Which brings me to probably the best blueberry muffins I've ever made.  Everybody, seriously, everybody, loves these muffins.  Thanks Best of Bridge ladies!
