Blueberry Meyer Lemon Muffins

Mmmmmk.

Meyer lemons.  I really hate to admit this but…I’m a little terrified of them.  Still.  Even after making a mind-blowing muffin with them, even after Nate ate every single one and talked about how delicious they were, even after….even after everything I’ve been through with them.

 

Have I mentioned I’m a little wary of change things that are new?

 

Bet you couldn’t tell that anyway, right?

 

Right?

 

Hello?

The reality is that Meyer lemons are kind of amazing, despite my ridiculous fear of the unknown.  They’re a cross between a lemon and an orange and have this incredibly lemony-citrus smell.  Think lemon, but 20x stronger.  And 20x more flavor.

 

Pair that with blueberry muffins that would make Martha Stewart sing praises and we’ve got ourselves a big fat muffiny winner.

 

What’s that?  Muffiny isn’t a word?  Well, methinks you should embrace the change 🙂

BLUEBERRY MEYER LEMON MUFFINS

  • 3 cups flour
  • 1 Tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup yogurt
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/3 cup canola oil
  • zest of 2 Meyer lemons
  • 1/4 cup juice from Meyer lemons
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

Preheat oven to 350.  Grease a muffin pan or line with muffin cups.  In a large bowl combine the sugar, sour cream, yogurt, egg, oil, and lemon juice.  Add the dry ingredients and gently stir till just combined.  Fold in the zest and the blueberries.  Scoop into a standard muffin pan, about 1/4 cup of batter per muffin cup.  Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.  Devour warm with a little butter or at room temperature.

Embrace the change people!

 

***Edited to say: After reading your comments about the muffins not rising and browning correctly I did some research and have adjusted the recipe as needed.  Sorry for the confusion – apparently pregnancy brain means I forgot to write down all of the ingredients!  Thanks for your patience!***

    Have a Meyer lemon tree but is still too small to produce a lot of lemons, but yesterday I hit the jackpot! Found 1 lb. bags of Meyer lemons at Walmart priced at $1.00 each!!! I asked the produce guy if the price was correct, and he said yes, they had just received a large load and he priced them to move. I moved 3 bags out with me and think I’ll go back tomorrow for some more. Freezing juice? Sounds good to me. Making your muffin recipe tomorrow. Mouth already watering. Thanks photos did it!!

    Is one-half a teaspoon of baking powder really the only leavening in these? As that’s the equivalent of roughly 1/8 of a teaspoon of baking soda, I can’t imagine these muffins would rise much, if at all. Given that this is a very acidic batter (yogurt, sour cream and Meyer lemon juice), I’m surprised that the recipe as written doesn’t call for baking soda in place of or in addition to the modest amount of baking powder.

    Growing up, the only lemons I ever ate were Meyer Lemons. We used to have a giant tree that produced close to year round right outside the kitchen door. When they get really ripe, meyer lemons actually look exactly like an orange. I never realized why people flipped out over Meyer lemons until we had to cut the tree down and I realized that our tree was not a standard lemon. Thank goodness we have replanted the tree and its currently covered in almost ripe fruit.

    Thankyou for answering my question as to what on earth makes a meyer lemon different from a lemon. I am not sure if I have ever seen one, are they common in grocery stores? Or is it something I’d get from Fresh Market/Whole Foods? I’d love to find them and make these muffins!

      They’re seasonal. Got some this week at a Whole Foods market but they also have them at loads of farm stands and sometimes even at local grocery stores (chains). Have also bought them at Trader Joe’s if you have one. Often sold in net or plastic bags. In season now through about March.

    I’ve never had a meyer lemon…are they too sour to eat plain, or can you eat them because they have the added orange in there?

      i wouldn’t eat them plain just because of the lemon part being tart, but you never know til you try!

For my @fasterwaytofatloss friends, here’s an AM For my @fasterwaytofatloss friends, here’s an AMAZING low-carb day dish: roasted cauliflower with smoked paprika and almonds! It’s so simple to make, incredibly flavorful, and pairs really well with truly any protein. Enjoy!

3. Sprinkle evenly with salt, pepper, paprika and garlic powder, then toss to evenly coat it all.
4. Roast at 375 for 25 minutes, tossing halfway through.
5. When there are 3 minutes left, open the oven and sprinkle the almonds on top.
6. Roast for another 3-4 minutes until the almonds are just lightly toasted, then remove and serve immediately.

I remember when I wasn’t sure it would sprout at all, and then one day the seed split and there it was! We also hit a point November-January where there was zero growth and I wondered again if it was a waste of time.

Now there are new leaves, new height, and (most importantly) stronger roots, all because of a little patience and care (it’s a metaphor y’all 😆). I find myself excited about the next season where it will be planted in dirt, which will offer new challenges - and growth- of its own. What a blessing to learn such deep lessons from a humble seed!

God, thank you for the little things that show us how much the little things matter. Amen.

🙋🏼‍♀️ Hi, my name is Heather and I str 🙋🏼‍♀️ Hi, my name is Heather and I struggle getting enough protein into my diet. Who else can relate?!

One of my physical health goals this year is to gain lean muscle and get stronger, which means that I need to be getting enough protein in on a daily basis. For me a great source of lean protein is chicken breasts, but if they don’t taste great I’m not having it! So, if this is you, I have a solution for you: BRINE YOUR CHICKEN BREASTS! 

Here’s my fail-proof brine recipe for perfectly flavorful chicken breasts. Cook ‘em however you want - just make sure you brine them first! The difference is enormously worth it!

Recipe is for about 4-6 chicken breasts:
•3 tablespoons kosher salt
•3 tablespoons honey
•2 cups lukewarm water
•2 cups cold water

In a large saucepan bring the first 3 ingredients to a simmer. Remove and stir until the salt is dissolved, then pour in the cold water. IT MUST BE COLD - otherwise the brine will start to cook the chicken breasts! When the mixture is lukewarm, add the chicken breasts, making sure they’re covered in the brine. Cover and refrigerate for 1-6 hours (I recommend 6 if you can). When they’re finished, remove from the brine, rinse, pat dry and cook as desired!
🏃🏼‍♀️Who else is struggling with findi 🏃🏼‍♀️Who else is struggling with finding cardio equipment for their home gym on a budget?

I love running, walking and hiking, but weather, childcare, and a certain global pandemic make consistently getting out to do those kinda difficult. I’ve always enjoyed my #homegym, but quality cardio equipment is expensive! 

So what’s a girl to do?

This past fall I randomly decided to look at steppers, and found this @sunnyhealthfitness one on @walmart for $50! I just wanted something that I could use for 20-30 minutes 4-ish days a week, and it’s been an amazing fit. Would I like a Peloton? Duh, of course. But this has worked so well with the budget and space we have!

What’s your biggest struggle in curating a home gym?
A blurry pickup line photo to tell you I can’t r A blurry pickup line photo to tell you I can’t recommend seeing a counselor or therapist enough. I was weird about it first, felt like my problems weren’t big or messy enough to warrant professional help. And when I did start seeing my counselor I was awkward (this shouldn’t be a surprise). But here we are 4 months later and I’m seeing some incredible life-giving movement. God is so good, and I’m so thankful for friends who normalized counseling and therapy for me!
So. It’s been a while since I posted on the feed So. It’s been a while since I posted on the feed (or really in my stories too). Truthfully I’m still heavily processing the last 2 months, which were preceded by 10 other hard months. Life is brutal and beautiful and next-level hard and a joy, all swirled together. I won’t pretend that everything is OK; it’s not. I’m not.

BUT GOD.

This past weekend I had a moment of complete clarity and joy and the knowledge that I will be OK. And for that only-God moment I’m so thankful. For all of you who have been praying for our family, who have offered the sweetest words and condolences, who have truly been there, waiting and wading with me through the hard - thank you. God is still good. He is still on his throne. And I am so unwaveringly thankful for that!❤️

⭐️ healthy doesn’t have to be hard

I have so many thoughts swirling around in my head these days, and half the time I don’t know which way is up. But I do know this: focusing on simplicity is the name of the game this year for me. It starts with the things I can control: my food intake, moving my body, my thoughts, my actions. The rest will stem from there!
