For the past five years, we have been attending the Finger Lakes Wine Festival. It's a huge festival where you get to sample wines from more than 80 New York wineries. What's not to love? We take a bus trip to it every year. I always bake some snacks to fill our bellies on the way. This year two of my close friends along with my cousin and a few of his friends joined us. Since my cousin loves blueberries, I decided to bake blueberry muffins, and it just so happens that summer fruits are this month's What's Baking theme. But I decided not to make just any blueberry muffins—I made ones studded with white chocolate chips. I loved these muffins. They weren't too dense and were packed full of tart berries and sweet white chocolate chips.
