Mothers Day

It is hard to believe I have been a Mom for 14 years. It really does seem like yesterday that Christina was born. It is funny how your appreciation of Mothers increases ten fold when you in fact become a Mother. Although it is the hardest job in the World it is also the most rewarding.

This morning my wonderful daughter made me delicious Blueberry Muffins. They were my Noni's recipe and my favorite. Here are some pictures of the yummy muffins.

And here is the recipe as written by Noni, my Italian Grandmother. Enjoy!

1 cup berries

2 cups flour

1/3 cup sugar

3 t. baking powder

1 t. salt

1 egg well beaten

1 cup milk

1/4 cup melted shortening ( which really means butter)

Wash and drain the berries. Mix and sift flour, sugar, baking powder and salt and set aside. Combine egg, milk and melted shortening. Add all at once to the flour mixture. Stir till liquid is absorbed. Gently fold in berries. Fill greased muffin pans 2/3 full. Heat oven to 400 F. and bake for 20 minutes or until brown.

I hope all my wonderful friends have a fabulous Mothers Day!
