My brother-in-law and sister-in-law had there new baby girl last week! Of course, I had to bring the proud new parents some food. I figured most people would bring them dinner [I also brought enchiladas, that I froze with reheating instructions, that they could eat when the visiting crowds died down] so I wanted to bring breakfast. I settled on blueberry muffins for a tasty mindless meal.

I really enjoyed this recipe [of course I kept one for myself] because of the streusel topping. It really set it about a typical blueberry muffin.

Streusel Topping

1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

Preheat oven to 400F. Grease muffin tin (or line with paper liners). Combine flour, sugar, salt and baking powder.

Place vegetable oil into a 1 cup measuring cup; add the egg and enough milk to fill the cup. Mix this with flour mixture. Fold in blueberries.

Fill muffin cups right to the top, and sprinkle with crumb topping mixture.

To Make Streusel Topping: Mix together sugar, flour, butter, and cinnamon. Mix with fork, and sprinkle over muffins before baking.

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes in the preheated oven, or until done.

Caprese Pizza
wifeplzak original recipe

Pizza dough
1/4 c. ricotta cheese
2 Heirloom tomatoes, sliced
4 oz mozzarella cheese, cubed
10 basil leaves, chiffonade
Olive Oil
Salt and pepper
Balsamic Vinegar

Preheat oven to 400F. Roll out dough on floured surface and place on pizza stone. Precook for approximately 5 minutes.

Remove from oven and top with dollops of ricotta cheese, sliced Heirloom tomatoes, cubed mozzarella cheese and then sprinkle basil leaves over the entire pizza. Drizzle with olive oil and salt and pepper. Return to oven and bake another 9-10 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbling.

Remove from oven and drizzle with balsamic vinegar.

I outlined the cookies in purple, pink and yellow royal icing and flooded them with white royal icing. I used Wilton Food Edible Color Markers in black to write on "Cute as a Button". Finally, I molded the buttons out of pink marshmallow fondant and various sized piping tips.
