Mystery Ingredient Wild Blueberry Pie
This blueberry pie recipe is not runny and has a mystery ingredient that adds a nice twist. I came up with this tasty version while searching the spice cupboard for nutmeg. My family loved it so much that I made two more pies the next day! Serve with whipped cream or ice cream.

Steaming asparagus in the microwave is the best way to cook asparagus to enjoy its flavor. It comes out absolutely perfect. For the wine, we recommend Pinot Grigio.
Spicy Cornbread Mini-Muffins
These are perfect for making 3 dozen mini muffins to take to a potluck. Basting the muffin tin with melted butter and dusting with cornmeal are an essential step to getting a marvelous crispy exterior to the muffins. To add more kick, do not seed the jalapenos and add an extra one.
