Tuesdays with Dorie - Savory Corn and Pepper Muffins




So, this week, our Tuesdays with Dorie recipe is Savory Corn and Pepper Muffins, chosen by Rebecca of Ezra Pound Cake. After I started reading the recipe, I thought "oh, okay, Mexican cornbread" lol. We like to eat it, but I don't usually make it, because Sean loves plain cornbread. I actually just took it out of the oven a little while ago. I've already taste-tested, lol, because I couldn't hardly stand it! They smelled soooo good while they were baking. I only made a couple of changes to the recipe. First, I added a handful of shredded cheese to the batter, and I left out the cilantro (because it never made it in my basket at the grocery store!). I never would have thought to put it in there, but the addition of the chili powder and the freshly cracked black pepper both add a nice flavor to the muffins. Mine turned out very moist and tasty! I'm planning on making either posole or taco soup for supper, and I think these will go quite well with either. I'm sure I'm going to have to make some plain cornbread for Sean, but this recipe will have to make it's way into the regular rotation. :)

Make your way over to the Tuesdays with Dorie site and check out the blogroll to see what the other bakers did with this weeks choice!!


Editing to add the picture, LOL!

Update!! D really liked them, and I think they were even better at room temperature after a few hours (although they were pretty darn good straight out of the hot muffin pan!). Sean would not even try them...he saw the "vegetables!!" in them, and said no. :) I wound up making posole to go with them. I would definitely reccommend trying this recipe!!

I wish I had thought to add some cheese. That would be making a good thing better, for sure! Welcome to TWD!!

Wow, I'm glad they were well liked at your house.

I wish I'd have added some cheese, that sounds delish.

Chocolate-Coated Marshmallow-Filled Moon Pies

Back in 2011, I participated in a project called Frosting for the Cause.  My contribution was Chocolate-Coated Marshmallow-Filled Moon Pies.  Unfortunately, it seems as though that blog no longer exists.  In light of that, I am re-posting the story and recipe here, just in case anyone comes looking for it.  :) Originally posted Feb 22, 2011 When I first heard about Frosting for the Cause via Twitter, I knew I had to join in.   I was so excited to get the email letting me know when I would be posting!   I feel very honored to be a part of this.   Later, when I sat down to write my post, the emotions really hit me.   My grandmother has battled cancer not once, but twice in her life.   And thankfully, both times, she has won.   She’s a tough old lady!   Just don’t tell her I called her old.     And she is not the only woman in my life to have been touched by cancer.  A dear friend of mine, Denyse, recentl...

Thick and Chewy Snickerdoodles

I admit, I love snickerdoodles.   Cinnamon and vanilla?   Yes, please.   What’s funny is that I never really had them much as a kid, just occasionally in the school cafeteria.   I know, ew. Anyway, snickerdoodles were one of the first cookies that the Munchkin helped make when he was little.   He could help dump everything in the mixer (or “loud noise” as he would call it!) and then it was fun for him to roll the balls of dough in the cinnamon sugar before putting them on the baking sheet. Even since then, my go-to recipe for snickerdoodles has been this one by Emeril.   It’s a great recipe, baking up a thin, crispy cookie (at least when I make them!).   However, I was looking for something different this time, something thicker and chewier.   I found this recipe from the blog How Sweet it Is .   I decided to try it, and while I did keep the ingredient list the same I changed up the method a bit to suit me better.  ...

Chewy Ginger Snaps

Sit down.  No really, I mean it.  There are 12 weeks until Christmas.  Seriously.  Get out your calendar and count if you don't believe me!  Do you know how I know this?  Because I'm participating in the 12 Weeks of Christmas Cookies this year.  It's hosted by April of Abby Sweets .  And there's a linky thing to all the other cookie posts  down at the bottom of this post.  Or at least there's supposed to be.  ;) Aside from being horrible at time management and also being a huge procrastinator, want to know what my biggest problem has been?  Narrowing down what cookies I'm going to make!  There are just so many choices out there.  I decided to start with this recipe for Chewy Ginger Snaps. I got this recipe many years ago off an online parenting message board, and I've made it several times since then and adjusted the recipe slightly.  I'm sure there are several recipes out there, and I'm just not ...
