Blueberry Lemon Sugar Crusted Muffins

One thing that has changed around our house since my husband’s incident…is the fact that he now wants to eat breakfast!

He has never been much of a breakfast eater at all and now he is hungry in the morning and he has his appetite back!!!

These Blueberry Lemon Sugar Crusted Muffins fit that bill.
