It’s Tuesday and this week’s recipe is Dorie Greenspan’s Savory Corn and Pepper Muffins. These are definitely not your standard Jiffy brand corn muffins.  With savory ingredients and chopped fresh peppers, they’re something entirely different.

The host for this week is Rebecca of Ezra Poundcake and she chose a recipe that was somewhat of a twist on the ordinary. I had, once again, talked myself into and out of making this recipe during the past week.  I’ll be honest and say from the get-go that I’m a sweet-cornbread kinda gal… and my family feels the same way.  But I thought we’d try this recipe anyway since ya just never know :)  The temperature today in my part of Southern California was 83°F so even though I had wanted to make a hearty pot of soup or chili to go with the cornbread, it just was not meant to be.  Now let me just get it out of the way that I love cornbread… soft… fluffy… sweet… delicious… melt-in-your-mouth cornbread!  But this recipe is for savory corn muffins which is a different sort altogether. The recipe wasn’t difficult at all… the corn muffins come together easily and bake up nicely but the result just wasn’t my cup of tea.  DH and I each had one with dinner, the kids each took a bite then passed.  ’Tis fine since not every recipe appeals to everybody :) 

These muffins are different… and different can be very good.  So if you’d like to give this recipe a whirl, head over to hostess Rebecca’s website.  And while you’re at it check out the other TwD bakers to see how they did this week.

Have a delicious day!

    Your photos are gorgeous and I am SO jealous of your 83 degree weather!

  3. Karen says:

    Bummer that everyone only kind of liked these. They look beautiful anyway!

  4. Your post is so gracious and tactful! Sorry they weren’t your cuppa. I’d take them off your hands – we loved ‘em!

    Your muffins look great. This weather is crazy, isn’t it? I’m not complaining though.

    I guess I am a little bit jealous of the warm weather that you and few other TWDers are experiencing. It’s going to be like 11 degrees this week! Yikes! The muffins look fabulous. Great pictures!!

  7. Yours look fabulous.

  8. Margaret says:

    Wonderful looking muffins. They were good, weren’t they?

  9. Matt says:

    Eighty-three degrees in Southern California, huh? We hit, I think, eight degrees here in Northern Illinois. Great weather for muffins, lousy weather for living! I wish I had the same positive attitude when my son doesn’t care for something I make. I always look at him and ask him he who is and what did he do with my real son!

  10. Caitlin says:

    83? While driving home from work today, it hit -5 degrees. I officially hate you. But not really. Because my weather was appropriate for corn muffins and hot hot soup :)

    I love the song on here! And I am so jealous of your weather. It is cold here right now. Your muffins look great. I loved these.

  12. Blond Duck says:

    I saw you on Nancy’s blog and wanted to say hi. It’s actually not 80 degrees here for once in South Texas!

  13. Agreed that these were not exactly my favorite. And summer months here do not provoke me to make chili with them either.

  14. Jennifer says:

    These were fabulous….nice job!!! I LOVE the music…reminds me of the movie "Return To Me."

  15. Wow! These look fantastic!!! yes, the weather has been crazy – I think we are about 120 degrees warmer than those -40 degree places!!! That’s a bit surreal.

  16. Rachel says:

    Well even though you didn’t love them they look really great!

  17. Linda says:

    Em, I hope you’ve been enjoying the SoCal weather as much as I have! :)

    You kind of cornbread is what I prefer also- fluffy and cakey…and on the sweeter side. Appreciated your effort, as the muffin photos are a treat to look at!
