I must admit that I am not the biggest soccer fan, but the World Cup has been everywhere these days. I just can’t get away from it! My coworkers chat about the games at work, and when I am at home my neighbors are cheering loudly during a game or my husband is watching a replay. If you don’t already know, my husband is German, so we can all guess who he is rooting for during tomorrow’s game {USA vs. Germany}. I guess it is a good thing I am not as big of a fan of the World Cup as he is, but I thought a little teasing would be fun (and of course I have to support my country in the games!) – so I made these berry lemon muffins to show some team spirit. These muffins are made with blueberries and raspberries, and make a festive 4th of July treat too! Independence day is already next Friday, can you believe it?!
Now that I have eaten too many of these muffins, my night will be spent at the gym. I am going to try out this new dance class. I am nervous to make a fool out of myself, but it sounds fun and I miss dancing!
Who are you rooting for in the World Cup?

great summery muffins!
Go USA! I am certain that if these delicious summer muffins were waiting for the team at the end of the game, they would take over Germany for the win. Take Care, BAM
These delicious summery muffins are definitely the way to go 😀
