Everyday Food for Busy People
I love muffins. I love them even more than cupcakes. Probably because they are so quick to make. It’s almost instant gratification from the time the muffin idea pops in your head until you’re pulling them from the oven.
Of course, not all muffins are the sweet variety. They are delicious savory versions that can round out and stretch a meal.
Here’s a list of muffin recipes gathered from this site and all around the web too. Enjoy!
Cornbread muffins are an easy way to round out a meal. I decided to save a few steps by making my own mix.
One note: Don’t leave out the butter when you mix them up. We had company the other day and I served these muffins. Right before we sat down to eat, I discovered the melted butter that was supposed to be in the muffins sitting in the microwave instead.
Please tell me I’m not the only one to have trouble talking and cooking at the same time! I once melted a Tupperware bowl in the oven because I was talking on the phone and not paying attention. I meant to turn the oven on to about 200 degrees and then turn it off again, to rise some bread dough. The key is turning the oven off!

Does anything round out a meal as well as cornbread? Maybe it’s just my Kentucky roots. (My mom’s family is from Kentucky, so I can claim that.) Or the fact that we’ve lived here for 20 years.
Or maybe cornbread just really does round out a meal better than most anything else.
Usually, I make Southern Cornbread or Cheddar Muffins or sometimes, Hoe Cakes. This time I wanted a muffin without the cheddar. And I wanted a little sweetness. (I actually put a bit of sugar in the cornbread. Like a Northerner!)

Apple goodness and sweet brown sugar make these muffins delicious. But you know what made them even better? A friend stopped by to share them with me!
Good conversation, a cup of tea and muffins warm from the oven can make a plain old Wednesday morning the best part of the week.
Muffins are about the perfect snack food. They are such a quick way to have the comfort of homemade baking. Here’s what you’ll need:
All the scrumptiousness of a snickerdoodle cookie baked into a muffin. The idea for this muffin popped into my mind, so I went on a quick internet search for a recipe. When the search yielded nothing, I decided to make up a recipe myself. I wanted the tops to come out crinkled with cinnamon sugar like the namesake cookie. I also wanted to use cream of tartar in the batter, since that is a key ingredient in the cookies.
Success! We now have a new family favorite muffin. The cinnamon sugar is a bit crisp on top and the muffin is slightly sweet and vanilla -y. Here’s what you’ll need: [Read more…] about Snickerdoodle Muffins
