- Customize with your favorite cooked veggies, herbs, cheeses, meats, or spices.
- Don’t over-stir! Gently pull the eggs from the edges toward the center using a rubber spatula every few seconds. Stop cooking when the eggs are mostly set but still slightly shiny. They’ll continue cooking off heat.

How To Make Extra Protein Scrambled Eggs
- Whisk together the eggs, salt, and pepper.
- Lightly coat a nonstick pan with cooking spray and heat over medium-low.
- Once warm, add the eggs. Slowly scrape them toward the center as the bottom begins to set, creating soft folds.

Blueberry Muffin Ingredients
- All-Purpose Flour (2 1/2 cups, divided): The flour found in most kitchens you’ll want to carefully measure flour. The easiest way to do this is to scoop it into your measuring cup and level off the top with a knife.
- Sugar (2/3 cup): Adds sweetness to the batter.
- Baking Powder (1 tablespoon): A main ingredient for leavening. It adds volume and lightness to the batter.
- Salt (1 teaspoon): Helps enhance the flavors and balances the sweetness of the batter.
- Nutmeg (1/2 teaspoon): A warm, earthy, and nutty spice that complements the berries.
- Daisy Sour Cream: The star ingredient that adds moisture and smoothness to the batter, giving the muffins a tender crumb and a slightly tangy taste.
- Milk (1/4 cup): Adds moisture to the batter, making it more tender.
- Unsalted Butter (1/2 cup, melted): The butter adds moisture and richness to the batters. It helps create the air pockets that helps give muffins their texture.
- Eggs (2 large, beaten): Creates the thickness and stability in the batter. Eggs bond with the flour to create the texture of the batter by forming a stronger gluten. The eggs also help add height to the muffins.
- Frozen Blueberries (1 ½ cups, unthawed): Picked at the peak of freshness, they are one of the two main ingredients giving the muffins their flavor.
- Salted Butter (1/4 cup, cold): A key ingredient to making the crumb topping, it helps bind the other ingredients together.
- Quick-cook Oatmeal (1/2 cup): Adds texture to the muffin topping and a touch of fiber.
- Brown Sugar (1/4 cup): Adds a rich buttery, caramel flavor to the strudel topping. Did you know that brown sugar is a combination of cane sugar and molasses? The molasses in the sugar is what adds the depth of flavor and adds a bit of chew to baked goods. Light or dark brown sugar may be used in this recipe. Use dark brown sugar for a deeper flavor or light brown sugar for a lighter flavor.
- Ground Cinnamon (2 tablespoons): The classic flavor from this aromatic spice adds a touch of sweet, slightly citrus warmth to the strudel topping.
- Sparkling Sugar (2 teaspoons): Adds a touch of crunch and sweetness to the muffin tops.

Substitutions, Variations, and Tips
- To reduce cleanup when you make muffins, spoon the batter into a zip-top bag, snip off a corner, and fill the muffin tins.
- Freeze muffins for up to 3 months. Cool completely and put in a zip-top bag. Thaw in room temp overnight. Warm in microwave for 20 seconds or wrap in foil and bake in preheated 300 oven for 6-10 min.
- Don’t pack the flour in your measuring cup. Packing the flour will lead to tougher, dense, or rubbery donuts. Overly dense is likely due to too much flour. Conversely, sticky batter is typically the result of too little flour.
- You can use all canola or vegetable oil in place of the butter.
- ½ cup applesauce may be used in place of the eggs. Please note, this will make a slight change the texture of the batter, so you’ll need to add an extra 1 teaspoon of baking powder to keep the dough from being too dense.

How to Make Blueberry Muffin Batter
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Beat 2 cups flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, sour cream, milk, 1/2 cup melted butter, and eggs until thoroughly mixed. Fold in blueberries. Pour into muffin tins.

3. Cut the ¼ cup cold butter into small cubes. Mix the oatmeal, 1/2 cup flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and cubed cold butter together with pie cutter until it forms small pebbles.
4. Sprinkle the topping mixture on top of the batter in each muffin tin. Sprinkle each with sparkling sugar.
5. Bake the muffins for 25-35 minutes. Serve hot.

- Try adding a sprinkle of finely grated salty cheese, such as parmesan, asiago, Manchego, or feta.

- The key to extra crispy wedges? Soak the cut potato wedges in ice-cold water for 10-20 minutes to remove some of the starch. Make sure to completely dry the potatoes once removed from the water. Dry potatoes will yield crispier wedges.
- Wedges may be made in the air fryer instead of the oven. To air fry, reduce the amount of oil to 1 ½ tablespoons. Place in an air fryer basket in a single layer, preheated to 400° Air fry for 10 minutes, flip, and cook another 5 minutes.
- Leftovers may be stored in a zip-top bag for 3 days. They reheat well in the oven or air fryer (350°F for 10 minutes or until warm).

Substitutions, Variations, and Tips
- Any bite-size pasta will work well in this recipe, including gluten-free pasta. Feel free to use whatever you have on hand.
- Heavy cream (also called whipping cream) may be used in place of milk for a richer, creamier, sauce.
- Half the milk may be replaced with chicken broth for a flavor twist and to lighten up the sauce a tad bit.
- If your Mac & Cheese is too thin, let it sit for a few minutes to thicken. If the sauce is too thick, add milk, a tablespoon at a time until you reach the desired consistency.
- Feel free to use your favorite melting cheese, or combination of melting cheeses. Using a mixture of cheeses adds a depth of flavor to the sauce.
- Try adding precooked ground beef, Italian sausage, chicken, or cubed ham for a heartier dish.
- Add some veggies. Everyone could use some extra vitamins and minerals. Adding 1 tablespoon thinly sliced green onions will add flavor and a pop of color. Adding cooked veggies is a terrific way to get more nutrients without making an extra side. Broccoli and green peas are both delicious additions. Even the pickiest eaters will gobble it up.
- Spice it up by adding a dash of hot sauce, a teaspoon of seeded and diced jalapeno pepper, a sprinkle of cayenne pepper, or a 4 ounce can of drained and diced green chiles.
- Adding ¼ – ½ teaspoon of smoked paprika and other dried spices such as garlic powder or onion powder, or 1 teaspoon of fresh herbs such as thyme, basil, or rosemary will lend a more sophisticated flavor.

Substitutions, Variations, and Tips
- Uniformly cut the potatoes into cubes before cooking for the perfect textures. Uneven cubes will lead to uneven cooking, with some pieces being overcooked and some undercooked.
- Cook potatoes until just barely tender. To test if they are ready, pierce a potato cube with a fork or knife. They are done when the fork or knife easily pierces the potato pieces. Avoid overcooking as it will make the potatoes mealy.
- Yukon Gold potatoes may be used in place of Russets. Yukon Golds are a yellow, slightly waxier potato, which will yield a buttery mash.
- Be sure to dice pancetta into small cubes to render and make extra crispy bits.
- Bacon may be used in place of pancetta. Bacon will add a smoky flavor.
- Scallions and green onions may be used interchangeably. Finely diced yellow onions may also be used in place of green onions.
- Table salt and ground black pepper may be used in place of Kosher salt and fresh ground pepper.
- Creamy melting cheeses such as Muenster, Edam, Havarti, or Gruyere may be used in place of the Gouda.

- Avocados are ripe when they have a slightly firm (not hard) feeling when pressed. They should not be too soft or mushy. The color of the avocado also slightly darkens as it ripens. Between the feel and color, you can easily tell if the avocado is ready to eat.
- To half the avocado, run a knife around the parameter of the avocado pressing in until you feel the pit. Slightly twist the two halves to easily separate. To remove the pit, slightly press the knife into it and pull. The pit should give and pull out as you pull the knife back.
- While store-bought Pico de Gallo is recommended for this recipe for time savings, you could also make your own. To make fresh Pico de Gallo, mix 4 diced Roma tomatoes, ½ cup diced onion, ½ cup chopped cilantro, ½-1 finely diced jalapeno, 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (or lemon juice), and a sprinkle of salt. Make ahead so the flavors can develop before using. Store sealed tightly in the refrigerator for up to a few days.
- Strained salsa or picante may be used in place of the Pico de Gallo. Try citrus salsas for a twist on flavor.
- If you like your food a little spicier, drizzle the avocados with hot sauce or sprinkle with fresh cracked black pepper.

How To Make Stuffed Avocado
- Cut avocado in half and remove pit.
- Fill center of each half with cottage cheese.
