Imaginary muffins by any other name would still taste as sweet.

I got some blueberries yesterday so I decided to go ahead and make muffins. Afterall, what else does one do with blueberries? Do tell. I really don’t bake, as in with flour and sugar that is; so I usually make something out of a box when the urge hits me. Plus I don’t have as much of a sweet tooth as I do a very salty one. So I got a box of blueberry muffin mix and changed some ingredients around. When Chris had one he exclaimed with much enthusiasm ‘Yum!’ and I responded with much enthusiasm “I made up the recipe MYSELF! Okay, heres what I did: I took a box of blueberry muffin mix and….” Thats where I lost him. Chris started falling over lauging at me in such a way that I could either be hysterically funny or rediculously strange, there was just no telling. My embarrasment only allowed me one reaction, the standard one where I’m confused and uncomfortable in which I laugh like a mental patient until tears come down. Not dissimilar to that feeling of when you go to high-five someone and they leave you hanging but you try to play it off like you were just going to fix your hair anyway. So, heres my completely made up recipe; they really are quite ‘yum’.
1 box blueberry muffin mix, the kind with a tin of berries inside like pillsbury and toss the berries.
1 package of cream cheese
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup vegitable oil
2 eggs
Fresh blueberries, 1 conainerSet oven to 425f and mix all ingredients except the berries untill they have a whipped consistancy and are good and fluffy, then stir in the berries. Line muffin pan with paper cups and fill each one with a heaping tablespoon of batter and bake for about 20 minutes untill golden. Wash, rinse, repeat. I ended up with 30.
