Happy February!
After returning home from our last trip up north, a lazy baking weekend followed. Sunday morning felt fresh and sunny, and with it the urge to bake something sweet, something delightful.
And quick breads are always a wonderful option to me.I had some blueberries and wholewheat flour waiting to be used, so needless to say that blueberry + orange muffins became part of our morning breakfast!
