Breakfast In Bed with Homemade Blueberry Muffins

Your partner will wake up with a smile when they smell these delicious bakery-style blueberry muffins baking right in your own kitchen. I like to make them a couple times a month, and I’d like to share this easy recipe with you.

1/2 C. unsalted butter
1 C. white sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
2 eggs
2 C. flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 C. milk
2 C. blueberries
2 Tbsp. white sugar

1. Preheat oven to 450°. Lightly grease 12 muffin cups.

2. In large bowl cream butter and 1 C. sugar. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Combine flour, baking powder and salt, stir into egg mixture alternately with milk. Fold in blueberries. Spoon batter into muffin cups and sprinkle with sugar.

3. Bake in preheated oven for 5 minutes. Reduce heat to 375° and bake for 25 minutes more, or until golden.

I hope you enjoy them as much as my family does.

Ideas on Where to Meet People

Many people are looking for new ideas on where to meet people.  The bar scene can be fun for a while, but it’s not for everyone and there comes a time when a person wants a more meaningful relationship. 

The best place to start is knowing what you’re looking for in a partner.  Take a few minutes to write down the qualities that are most important to you.  It’s amazing how having a clear picture of what you want will attract that type of person into your life.  I highly recommend a book for women written by Bob Grant called, “The Women Men Adore…And Never Want To Leave.”  It helps you clarify what you want in a relationship, and gives great insight on how men think and what they really find attractive…and it isn’t what you’re probably thinking.  I love the book and I have recommended it to my own daughters.

You don’t really need to go anywhere special to meet people…there are people everywhere you go, you just have to be receptive to them.  A nice smile, eye contact and a little confidence are about all you really need to meet people in your everyday life.  If you like to get out and do things you’ll likely meet people with similar interests.  If you’re interested in wine tasting go to wine tasting events.  If you’re into health go to the gym or take an exercise or karate class, or take a dog walking.  Join a book club or a photograpy class.  If you’re looking for someone fun, creative and positive thinking find a local Cash Flow game or motivational club.  If you can’t find what you want, don’t be afraid to start a group of your own.

Just keep in mind what it is you’re looking for, be receptive and plesant to everyone, you will soon be meeting people everywhere you go.  And finally, when you feel that intuitive nudge from within…act on it.

1,000 Questions For Couples by Michael Webb

“An estimated 83% of divorces would not take place if couples asked each other the right questions.”

Oprah’s relationship expert, Michael Webb, has a book called “1,000 Questions For Couples” that has these questions, and they will really help you get to know your partner…what makes them happy, what upsets them, what their goals in life are and if they are compatible with yours.

This book is great for everybody, from new dating relationships to married couples. Some of the questions are easy and fun, some are more serious. It’s a wonderful way to spend quality time together and really get to know your special someone. It can be done long distance too, through e-mails, letters or phone calls…just a couple of questions at a time.

“1,000 Questions For Couples” is not available in stores, but it is available on my web site, http://datingreport.bravehost.com.
