Whole Wheat Blueberry Muffins

A few weeks ago our kitchen had a strange smell. We couldn't figure out where  it was coming from or what it could be. I thought it might be the trash so I threw out the bag and thought that was it. Problem solved. Wrong! Our kitchen still smelled. I cleaned, washed out the sink and garbage disposal. Nope. It still smelled.

The hubbs said that it had to be coming from the fridge. We've never had a smelly fridge, but I looked through it and found nothing (or so I thought...).

The smell lingered.
 
It wasn't until I came home with groceries the next weekend that we'd had enough. I took everything out and wiped it down. Put everything back in.

It still smelled!

And then I realized something. There were black beans in the fridge. That I had used a week before. Could that be the cause?

Yes. It was. I didn't even think about checking them (stupid, I know), and left them in the back of the fridge when I took everything else out.

Oops.

So, what does this story have to do with these muffins?


Nothing.

I felt like you might need a good story.


And there isn't really one for these muffins. They're just good. I recently made them for a bunch of coworkers and they were a hit. So there you go. :)
