Comfort food, best muffins ever, protein does not comfort me...

Lots of stress so not many blog posts. John was diagnosed with a very aggressive not-your-grandpa's prostate cancer. He is recovering from surgery and we are figuring out his next treatment, probably hormone therapy with a side order of unknown.

Though I don't enjoy cooking (unless it's glass or PMC), when I am stressed I find the rhythm of it soothing, so I have been cooking: mac and cheese (the recipe on ronzoni box rocks), soups, dumplings, potato casserole, John's mom's sugar cookies, and the list goes on. My friend noted that I needed more protein items. I responded: "Protein does not comfort me."

Above is the yummiest muffin recipe my friend Beth discovered and Susan baked and delivered to my door. (I have to give everyone credit or they won't bring me any more treats.)  It has 2 1/2 Cups of those anti-oxidant packed blueberries, half of which you mash before you put them in the batter. I zapped them in the food processor.
