Lemon Blueberry Chocolate Chip Muffins



Happy Father's Day to all the wonderful dad's out there.  I'm blessed to have such an awesome one! :)  Love you dad!


This is actually not what I made my dad for father's day, but they're still yummy and I've been meaning to put this recipe up!  They're delicious muffins and fairly healthy for you!


I surprised my dad with one of his mother's old coffee cake recipes and he loved it.  I'll post the recipe soon!



I also made him this card:


He loves McDonalds.  He goes there to get coffee at least twice a day!

How are you all celebrating Father's Day?

  9. I love anything that's blueberry-lemon flavored, but add the chocolate chips and I'm in hog heaven! It couldn't be more perfect! The father's day card you made is so cute! :) I spent the entire day working at the restaurant. I worked a grueling 13 hour shift. Would have been nice to spend it with my dad. :)
