Make muffins for Tuesdays with Dorie to share with only myself.
Add extra jalapeno and chili powder so I can actually taste something.
Yeah, Happy New Year!
I apologize for not commenting on blogs since the new year and checking out all your yummies. I have been coming home and going to bed with my humidifier and cat. Seriously crazy amounts of sleep - like going to bed at 7:10 pm. I'm starting to feel a bit better now and am still in awe of those great scientists who created The Wonderful World of Antibiotics.
For this week's Tuesdays with Dorie, Rebecca of Ezra Pound Cake chose Savory Corn and Pepper Muffins on page 6. I love, love, love her blog!! Be sure to check it out for the recipe and for all her yummy delights.
I can't really tell you how these tasted...since I'm not the best judge at the moment. But they certainly are more colorful than your regular corn muffin! Be sure to check out the other Tuesdays with Dorie bakers! And stay healthy!!!!
Your muffins look wonderful...I can tell they taste good, too. I hope you feel better!

feel better soon! I myself have been sick since December 20th and am still ill. it's fun huh? In fact, I have two friends with babies, and my cold is OLDER THEN THEIR CHILDREN. I'm not complaining but I giving the tenor of your post I figured I could commiserate with you. by the way your muffins look lovely!
ReplyDeleteall of your pics are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteGood gravy, your holidays sound remarkably a lot like mine, sans antibiotics! Glad that you're on the mend, I'm sure the extra dose of chili in the muffins will help.
ReplyDeleteWow, those look beautiful! I'm so jealous of their perfect shape. Sorry to hear you've been so sick, hope you're feeling better!
ReplyDeleteFeel better soon! I've been doing almost anything I can think of to avoid getting sick and I'm crossing my fingers that it works. Not being able to taste things is the worst too. They look great though. I froze the rest of mine. Hopefully they'll freeze well and I can continue to enjoy them.
ReplyDeleteThose look very colorful. I'm sure they are delicious. I loved these. Feel better please!
ReplyDeleteWowwy! What nice colors you got! Very, very well done!
ReplyDeleteHope your feeling better soon! Despite your illness, the muffins are very pretty. I bet they're perfect with a big bowl of chili.
ReplyDeleteThe flu is also going around here, including a raging case of pink eye. Yikes! Take care of yourself.
Hey, feel better would you? Too bad the timing was off, but your corm muffins look really great.

ReplyDeleteOh you poor thing - I'm glad you are on the road to recovery!
ReplyDeleteMy husband came down with pneumonia the day after Thanksgiving and it took 6 weeks, 15 boxes of Kleenex,2 rounds of antibiotics, and 2 bottles of codeine cough syrup for him to get better!
Your muffins look wonderful. I hope you get well soon. Being sick sucks. :(
ReplyDeleteis it just me, or are a lot of people getting sick after new years? i hope you're feeling better! your muffins look great!

ReplyDeleteWhat a rough start on the new year, yet you still managed to bake and post the results. Wow. The muffins look lovely and hopefully you will be able to taste them soon.
ReplyDeleteMan! I am so sorry that you've been so sick. Obviously, Kleenex has been loving you. I hope it was the ones with lotion in them...your poor nose! Nice job on the muffins. Hope you enjoyed them!! Feel better soon. :o)
ReplyDeleteFeel better soon Miss Librarian! I love the Z pack..hope it kicks in soon...
ReplyDeleteoh no--i hope you are all better now. you certainly had the wherewithal to make some good-looking muffins!!
ReplyDeleteSexxxay!!! Hope you're feeling better. You coaxed some great color out of these muffins.
ReplyDeleteNow that's dedication: getting off your sickbed and baking and posting your TWD recipe - a baker has to have her priorities, right? And you know it's bad when Zicam doesn't knock it out. I seriously love that stuff. I hope you saved some muffins for the return of your sense of taste, and that you like them. I put extra spice in ours - no colds here, we just like them that way. They were yummy. Yours look amazing.
ReplyDeleteNancy
Glad you're feeling better! Your muffins look great!
ReplyDeleteI'm impressed you still made the muffins when you can't taste anything! Hope you are feeling better soon
ReplyDeleteAaaah, sounds like you got a really nasty bug. Hope you get to feeling better soon.
ReplyDeleteYour muffins are beauti-muss! Maybe you put some in the freezer for a later date, so you can enjoy them fully? Anyway, way to get your TWD done, in spite of being sick.
Ah so glad you are on the mend and sorry to hear you've been choking the cold virus. A holiday to remember.....boo hoo. Stellar effort on your carousel of colors muffins. Isn't it amazing how vibrant they are? Glad you had a change of pace. Get well soon.
