Around 3 o’clock yesterday, I had a sudden and intense craving for blueberry muffins. It was like, panicky intense. So bad that I actually looked up a recipe and drove straight to the grocery store to buy what I needed to make them.
Ahhhhhh……blueberry muffin crisis averted…………..
Is that not the most gorgeous thing you’ve seen all day? To me, it’s just not a real blueberry muffin without a crumb topping, so I made a basic brown sugar crumb topping and added it to this recipe to form the perfect muffin!
This one was really interesting because you actually make a blueberry jam to swirl into the batter, yum! We almost ate them for dinner because I wasn’t in the mood to cook. 
Sadly, we have an ant problem in our kitchen right now. I thought I’d found what had attracted them and eliminated it but they won’t completely go away. I’m sure having sweets in the house doesn’t help to convince them that there’s nothing for them here.
Anyone have any good DIY ant killer recipes? I’ve found a bunch online for how to kill an anthill outside, but not too much good advice about something to spray directly on them indoors that is non-toxic for food surfaces. I’m hoping they just go away on their own. 
For now, we’re hiding the muffins in the oven to keep them from the ants!
Ever have a craving so bad you made it immediately?
Blueberry swirls in the muffin sound amazing! I’m making brownies later… maybe they need a swirl too…
Swirl away, I vote raspberry!
So this may be an old wives tale, but I read somewhere once that you should never squish an ant because they release some kind of scent (or something) that let’s the other ants know they are in trouble and need help, which results in more ants in the house – now that I type this out I realize it seems kind of crazy
– I don’t have a natural solution for getting rid of them, sorry!
BTW – the muffins look great!
Makes sense to me, those little buggers can smell everything!
I’m having a major ant problem too. So much so that we might have to call and exterminator. Have you tried cinnamon? I read that kills them.
They don’t like the smell of it, but it doesn’t seem to kill them. I had great luck with diluted dishwashing liquid. Spray it on and they’re dead pretty quickly, doesn’t prevent new ones from coming though.
