My Heart, Bircher Museli and Blueberry Muffins...
There are two thing I feel compelled to try whenever I see them,
Blueberry Muffins and Bircher Museli.
It does not matter where I am
or what time of day it is.
I must try!
You can imagine my delight when this little beauty appeared in front of me.
I was introducing a friend to my favourite cafe on Pimlico Road in London.
One look at the menu and I knew what I was going to order.
I heart Daylesford Organic!
Are you thinking what I am thinking?
Works of art and every bit just delicious.
I am keen to try a little apple carvery myself.
The red apple has me mystified!
I can never leave this store without a wander and a purchase or two.
I keep their Grapefruit Leaf candle on the kitchen windowsill.
The fresh scent is perfect when you need to spend a bit of time in the kitchen.
Gernaium and Neroli hand wash makes cleaning up that much more enjoyable.
As for Blueberry Muffins..
well I am still in search of the perfect one.
well I am still in search of the perfect one.
Nothing beats the ones I used to have as a child.
I heart Jordan Marsh and wish it would return.
They had the perfect blueberry muffin
with that nice sugary, crunchy top.
In fact, I am still looking for the perfect blueberry muffin recipe.
Recommendations would be most appreciated!!
Now for a little Bircher Museli loving...
Graham Kerr who makes it just the way I like it!

What a yummy blog post! Now I want Muesli with fancy apples! And a couple macchiatos on the side! But I'll be satisfied with my Breakfast Risotto cooked overnight in the crock pot - cinnamon apple yumminess! Didn't we meet over Saturday breakfast last week? I could get use to this!

Hi Maurie,
ReplyDeleteI was thinking the same thing...yes we did meet over breakfast last week whilst reading Mrs. Moneypenny :)
I could get use to this too!
Thanks so much for this recipe link...I am off to explore! Best wishes...
I had to laugh...I am always on the search for the perfect 'something'. before I find it, I am on to something else.
ReplyDeleteSorry to say, Muesli has never been on my list, but seeing a picture of it may have changed my mind, and the apples look delicious!
The shop in the restaurant looks like loads of fun! :-)

ReplyDeleteIt looks so good! And I love the way that market looks!
ReplyDeleteBeing Swiss..., I grew up with Bircher Muesli -love it!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis shop/cafe looks so inviting...love the arty arrangement of the apples.
ReplyDeleteI'd never be able to leave empty handed...these images of their wares tempt me.
Graham Kerr had a cooking show here in Canada for years and we watched him regularly!
MMM you have made me hungry ... gorgeous images of muffins .. I have tagged you over at mine with a fashion post I though you may enjoy it xx
ReplyDeleteDaylesford is just Heaven on Earth.. although I have been to the one in the countryside rather than the one in London. And as for Bircher Museli - my absolute favourite Jeanne... x
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful store! Lots of lovely and yummy items.

Great post, I would spend all day in that shop just wandering around looking at all the beautiful produce.
ReplyDeleteGraham Kerr!!!! Is he still around?
I remember his shows over here when I was a young mum. Now that's going back a bit. LOL
Blueberry muffins are the best. Well, everything blueberry is wonderful to me....
ReplyDeleteThat bread looks so crunchy delicious I could crawl thru the Internet and dive in. (Did I tell you I have a weakness for bread *sigh* Most normal people love chocolate; not I, pass the bread.!) And those farm fresh eggs...ah, for the good ole days...prior to the Egg-gate we're having here *frowns*...about those blueberry muffins, If I remember correctly, Marguerite at Cajun Delights posted her grandmother's recipe about a week ago. Looked yummy!
ReplyDeleteI was also impressed with the apples. The best museli I ever had was on the ferry crossing the English Channel. Your photos of the lovely shop, make me want to take a little trip to London. It has been way too long.
ReplyDeleteFondly,
Glenda
Looks delicious Jeanne
ReplyDeleteand the whole store oozes health and yumminess!!! This post is killing me though as I'm no longer allowed grains.. nuts I know!!...[actually nuts yes!!]
