Gluten-free Blueberry Cornbread Muffins

Two more months.

That’s what’s left of 2014, a year that has passed by so quickly, so full of events and friendships and ideas.

Gluten-free Blueberry Cornbread Muffins

We’re in November, and I’m not sure how exactly to believe it. 

We’re in my favorite month of the year, one filled with birthdays and festivities and spring days singing with life and bright with the colors of this beautiful season.

Gluten-free Blueberry Cornbread Muffins

And yet, in this month of November, as my 29th birthday draws near, marking my last year in my twenties; as I inch closer to yet another Christmas away from my family and friends from home, I can’t help but feel a longing for the country in which I was born.

The city where I first learnt to walk, to write, to exist, and where the people dearest to my heart live. The place which will always be mine, first and last.

Gluten-free Blueberry Cornbread Muffins

In the almost five years since I’ve relocated away from Singapore, I don’t usually get homesick easily.

But as each year comes to its close, whenever we enter into holiday season – birthdays, Christmas, and New Year’s, there are days just like today that I yearn for home – whatever that means.

Gluten-free Blueberry Cornbread Muffins

I think about the house where I lived in before moving to Argentina, and my third-floor bedroom with the balcony and its gorgeous night sky view.

I recall the sight of my mum poking her head into my room, just to say hello before leaving for work; the view of my dad reading the morning paper over a cup of milk tea and his breaksfast; and the sound of my siblings’ laughter and easy banter.

I miss spending my birthday and Christmas with my family, both direct and extended, and going for long drives with my best friends, or just sitting at the breakwater at East Coast Park, watching the waves crashing on the shore.

Today, I needed to feel close to home. I put on a playlist of Christmas songs, and with my headphones plugged in, I feel my soul feeling a little warmer, a little nearer and just that bit comforted by things that are familiar.

The sun’s shining beautifully outside my window, after an earlier morning downpour, and as I look outside, I’m reminded that “La Vita è Bella” – life is beautiful.

And while my loved ones are far away, I’m comforted by the fact that they love me as much as I love them. And for now, until we see each other again next year, that’s enough for me.

Sending everyone of you that I’m thinking of these blueberry cornbread muffins – small bites of golden cornbread intertwined with spring’s sweetest blueberries, best eaten with a generous drizzle of honey on top.

Missing all of you and sending my love. XO.

    We always belong to the place where we grew up I think.
    These cornbreads are fantastic Feli, love the contrast with blueberries! Yesterday I made a peach blueberry upside down cake, and am so glad spring fruits are popping up everywhere. Spring is my favorite season. Have you seen how amazing the jacarandas are? hugs my friend, and let’s meet next week, what do you say?
