I love to make and eat homemade Blueberry Muffins for breakfast on Sunday mornings! They are the best just from the oven when they are warm 🙂
Here is the link to my recipe! Blueberry Muffins They are delicious!!!
The bigger the muffin the better, I love using the large size muffin pans. I buy frozen blueberries in bags, most all grocery stores have them. Adding frozen blueberries to the batter helps to reduce the blueberry juices from turning your batter blue.
Enjoy your Sunday!! 🙂

Good evening y’all!
In early January I wrote about cutting a Black Walnut log into these Walnut cookies slices. At the time the black walnut tree had just been cut down so the moisture content was 100%. After 5 weeks, most of these are at 20% moisture but there are a few at 13-15%. It will be another few weeks before the moisture is between 8-9% so that I can begin finishing them. Check out my previous post from January 7th, Walnut Wood Cookies
I spent nearly 7 hours today removing the remaining bark, running them thru the planner on both sides and cleaning up the edges. They are looing really nice, a few cracks but that adds character. Most all of these are 12 inch in diameter and 2 inches thick.
All of them have really great color and should finish out beautifully! They will make great cutting boards, serving boards or plate chargers!
The National Weather Service has predicted a winter storm for our area starting Monday evening thru Tuesday with accumulations of 4 to 7 inches of freezing rain, sleet and snow! Where ever you are, I hope you are in a warm place!
I will soon be adding a new board design, see picture below!

I am not sure I know anyone that doesn’t like bacon, especially a good bacon sandwich!! 🙂 The other day our local grocery had bacon on sale, buy-one-get-one so we went for the sale. Bacon has been running anywhere from $6.00 per pound to $10 a pound for a long time and just recently the prices have come down.
This is Smoked Maple Bacon, despite how thin it was it tasted very good. We like thicker bacon and generally buy it at the Publix deli and we have purchased it from Cracker Barrel. Cracker Barrel usually has bacon on sale all the time and it is very good.
We decided to try this bacon so we made a few BLT sandwiches.
When all the cooking was done, it had cooked up really thin!! Now time to make the sandwiches, crab the bread and the toaster, lettuce, tomato, salt, pepper and mayo. We use Duke’s mayo and nothing else because of it’s great taste. It is also made locally.
BLT’s are quick to make and is one of my all time favorite sandwiches, I enjoy having a lot of bacon on my sandwich!
We enjoyed the BLT with cantaloupe, it was very good.
What is your favorite sandwich? Do you like a good BLT?
