This weekend we’re leaving for our annual vacation to the family camp in the Adirondacks. We’ll enjoy a week of fishing, hiking, and playing at the lake, as well as some good family cooking by Michael’s mom. She fixes these for us every year when we visit and it’s rare to have any left after breakfast, especially with my boys there!

I love blueberry muffins, Andrea, and haven’t had any in months!!
These look delish!
Was that right about 3 Tablespoons of baking powder?I made these today, but only added 3 teaspoons of baking powder. They turned out fine. They were not as sweet as I’m used to, but they were delicious. Thank you for your great recipes.
Um, that would be 3 teaspoons of baking powder! Thanks for catching that, Carolyn!
Oh man. I’m pregnant and this totally gave me cravings. Jerk (I mean that in the nicest way possible)! =P
Andrea,
The Adirondacks are my home! My son, Nick and I have just penned our first book, “Adirondack Nightmare: A Spooky Tale in the North Country” and it has three original Adirondack recipes in it. It’s geared for 3rd-5th graders, I’m not sure of the ages of your sons. You sound busy, enjoy your vacation…the weather’s been beautiful
Hope you took a lot of these to camp. They look really delicious…bet they go fast.
Welcome to the Daring Bakers, too.
