I was recently given a book called "The Summer House Cookbook", which I'm really enjoying. The whole point of the book is simple recipes that don't require any special equipment or ingredients so you can make them in your "summer" or "vacation" house (wouldn't that be nice?!) Anyway, I've made several simple recipes and they've turned out well. Today I made the Lemon Blueberry Muffins. I have to say, I'm not super impressed with them. Although they were easy, they just don't have a great flavor. I did forget to sprinkle the tops with "sugar in the raw" before baking which may or may not have made them much better. They are a good, simple muffin though. I think I just prefer the richness of butter creamed with sugar in my baked goods. I did like how easy these were though - no special equipment needed! I just used a wooden spoon to do the mixing.
