Barbecue Stuffed Corn Muffins is what’s for lunch today. Served with a side salad or melon slices these quick and easy muffins make a complete light meal. If you are looking for a more hearty meal, add baked beans. Or slow cooker Calico Beans. The cave hieroglyphs on top are a few shreds of cheese that vaporized in the hot oven. Didn’t add a cheesy topping, but created an imaginative lunch conversation. Is the upper left muffin depicting a charging elephant? A kangaroo? A water buffalo? Or a longhorn?

Several weeks ago, while we were still doing in person grocery shopping – wait! has it really been that long!?! Anyway, I picked up a tray of pulled pork on sale at the grocery and popped it in the home freezer. I was glad I did! We had three meals from it. Meal #1 was pulled pork on a bun with coleslaw. Meal #2 a few days later was baked potato topped with cheese and pulled pork. Meal#3 was this one. Not bad for a $6 purchase!
