Looks great! I’ve been wanting to try my hand at corn muffins lately. The best one I ever had was at Bobby Flay’s restaurant Mesa Grill in Manhattan – a combination of fresh corn, yellow and blue cornmeals. A bit spicy, totally heavenly with butter – it’s in the Mesa Grill cookbook, too.
What’s your preference between the two cornmeal muffin recipes? And did the husband appreciate the far superior quality of the tomato soup!?!?? Tomato soup is one of my favorites, but canned tastes totally awful to me and homemade is so easy.
Hi Gwen- I like Bobby Flay’s food, do you have that recipe? Lucky for you eating at his restaraunt! Was the rest of the meal good? I can’t believe I slighted the husband, he did love the soup, so much so that a compliment was issued despite his cold. Thanks for asking.
Tough call on the muffins, will make another batch of the the Southern tomorrow and get back to you on that one, with pictures.
Hope all is well with you. Glad you are enjoying the blog.
Auntie Gail- I think Jiffy Mix is a mid-western recipe isn’t it?
Hey Kim, you’re right. Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix is a midwest recipe; says so right on the box. It’s made in Michigan. Tastes pretty good. The hubby likes it. By the way, he likes canned tomato soup too. If he wants to open a can, it’s ok with me. More power to him and less work for me. The older I get the lazier I get. You’ll see some day. But, because he saves me all the work of making homemade tomato soup, I will make him lobster scampi for supper tonight as he has requested. Good trade, don’t you think? Works for me. That’s called marital compromise; not bliss; just compromise. Love and hugs to you.
Minus the whole tomato thing, it looks good. OK, I’m lying, you know I hate tomatoes, so the soup looks…. red. But, THE MUFFINS look great! I wish we were closer. I miss your cooking. Yankee OR Southern. . .
Your soup looks really yummy! I love that you added some carrots too. Will try this soon with some cumin seeds and crumbled Feta on top. Thanks for the inspiration!
