What to do with all those blueberries! | FairfieldMoms

We were very successful last week at Blueberry picking at Silverman’s Farm, definitely check it out before Blueberry season ends. Peach and Raspberry picking is also going on now so it would be a good time for a trip to Silverman’s. With all the blueberries we have in the refrigerator and in the freezer we decided to make a few recipes! This Blueberry Muffin recipe is a special one since I use to sell them to local coffee shops. But now you can enjoy these easy Paleo Blueberry Muffins at home!
