Corn Muffins

So, this will be the first post sans pictures. The next one I post may have cell phone pictures, but we'll see. The no-picture post may end up being better than cell shots, ha ha. I used to buy the cornbread mixes for whenever we were going to have cornbread, but I needed cornmeal for a recipe once and ended up buying a canister of it. I discovered a recipe on the back and decided to give it a try. Turns out, my husband much prefers this homemade kind of corn muffin as opposed to the mix you buy at the store in a box. And now, since I always have corn meal on hand, and the rest of the ingredients are typical kitchen "supplies", I can easily whip up some corn muffins to have with a meal without having to worry about if I have a mix in the cabinet.
