A great way to jazz up a muffin mix you have on hand! So this time next month around here we will be in the throws of going back to school. Work, college courses, preschool, and daycare… ahhh!! I can already feel my blood pressure rising with the crazy schedules and everything else that goes along with it – backpacks, back to school clothes, forms to fill out (do they ever end?), lunches, etc. etc. etc. I mean I think you all know that mornings are just not my thing. I will be more than happy to get you juice, bananas, cereal, grapes, milky, Curious George on Netflix, and find your Iron Man costume AFTER I’ve had my coffee. Before that, you will have to fend for yourself my friends. So now you see my anxiety that is back to school mornings? I NEED recipes like this one to help my busy mornings to go smoothly. I mean seriously, blueberry muffin meets cheesecake. Do I need to say anymore? 🙂 Blueberry Cheesecake Muffins Blueberry Cheesecake Muffins made with blueberry muffin mix, cream cheese, sugar, and grated orange peel.
