A first!
January 08, 2011Sweet Tomatoes is a staple in my hometown and a huge part of my childhood. It's home-y, and you're guaranteed to see someone you know every time. It was particularly sweet having dinner there with high school friends last night.
Among my favorites are definitely their blueberry muffins. I always swipe a couple on the way out for my brother, but they're never as good the next day. Luckily, they're one of my favorite (and first!) things to bake ever. I really think they're what made me fall in love with baking from scratch back in high school.
I've tried many other muffin recipes since then, but this one is still my absolute favorite. A perfect first for this blog!
