Blueberry Muffins when in a hurry - Review of Dunan Hines Simple Moments

Sarah loves blueberry muffins and today while at the grocery store I spied a new Duncan Hines Simple Mornings Blueberry Muffin Mix.  Well, the box states "New"  but I think this mix has been around for over a year.  So, we gave it a try.  The box says no high fructose corn syrup and no preservatives - definitely a plus.  I added fresh blueberries in addition to using the very small (almost too small to see) blueberries they provide in the mix.  These were pretty good and definitely not as good as from scratch but definitely a thumbs up when you want/need something quick and want less sugar and you add fresh blueberries.

Always good with milk and of course the milk is served in vintage juice glasses

I love my vintage juice glasses

Little Deli

Nestled in the heart of Crestview is a nostalgic shopping center (built in 1952).  As you turn into the parking lot you feel as though time has stopped and peace surrounds you.    There are small merchant stores, picnic tables, a gazebo, and in the evening white twinkling lights hang from the trees. The atmosphere is charming and worth a visit if you have never ventured to this part of town. 



 In the corner is “Little Deli” offering sandwiches, soups, pizza, salads and more.    My absolute favorite item on the menu is the turkey/mozzarella on rye with tapenade and without a doubt the most scrumptious Chocolate Colossal Cake.   It is the ultimate chocolate experience and provides you with the perfect bite.



Whenever I eat this cake I am reminded of the Barbara Streisand Movie “The Mirror has Two Faces” where she created the perfect bite every time she sat down to eat.  As each morsel of this cake is eaten and relished you can almost hear Puccini – Nessun Dorma sung by Pavarotti - (noted as the apology/Nessun Dorma on the soundtrack).
