Blueberry Sour Cream Muffins ~ I have a confession to make, I am totally addicted to making muffins and will very often make them several times a week! I recently had a container of sour cream that was soon due to expire. So, as any muffinaholic would do, I started wracking my brain for muffin recipes that use sour cream...and blueberries.

Strawberry Rhubarb Galette
In my neck of the woods, strawberry season will soon be in full swing! Add to that, the fact that rhubarb is still going strong too and the dessert ideas are endless.

Easy to Make, Broccoli Cheddar Soup
A couple of weeks ago, I was picking up a few items at our local grocery store and noticed a huge clamlike container of very fresh looking broccoli florets for only $1.99! What a great buy considering one bunch of two small heads of broccoli was $2.79 that same day. I should have snapped a pic of it, so I could show you, but that would have made too much sense...lol.
