On March 5, 2024, Dahlia Rimmon—dietitian, mom of three under-5 tornadoes, and probable breakfast savior—tested Ina Garten's blueberry-bran muffins in a valiant attempt to hijack the family breakfast rut. Armed with only two mixing bowls, 7 ounces of Greek yogurt, and a math lesson in teaspoons (half-teaspoons galore), she bravely replaced fresh blueberries with frozen ones—because toddlers are connoisseurs of slush. Baking at a civilized 350°F, Dahlia ignored Garten’s paper liner advice, betting on olive-oil spray to keep the muffins intact. After 25 suspenseful minutes, the purple-hued batter yielded moist, chewy muffins that her kids mercilessly devoured—asking for seconds like this was some sort of culinary miracle. Frozen leftovers reheat faster than a toddler's tantrum. Genius or desperate? You decide.
