Barbecue Stuffed Corn Muffins

Barbecue Stuffed Corn Muffins -- A Pinch of Joy _Quick and Easy

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 ...

Sugar and Spice Muffins – Best Breakfast Muffins Ever

Sugar and Spice Muffins

French Breakfast Puffs, Sugar and Spice Muffins, Donut Muffins, Baked Sugar Donut, The. Best. Breakfast. Muffin. Ever!   Many names, but only one description:  “Oh wow – this is good!” This is truly a time honored favorite, no matter what name it has.  Everyone love, love, loves this tender muffin with a crunchy spicy coating.  Time honored because I first made it in college.  I was a member of a women’s housing co-op where we shared the household duties in exchange for reduced housing costs.  Work was set up on a two week rotating basis and included a stint as assistant cook and then chief cook.  The chief cook planned the meals and could include anything she wanted as long as it was within the budget and reasonably nutritious. Except!  French Breakfast Puffs.  It was  house ... [Read More]
