[/caption]I've never made savory muffins before. I've heard all about Sausage & Cheddar Muffins, or Bacon & Chive but never anything with a vegetable in it. Doesn't a Sun Dried Tomato and Garlic muffin sound awesome? I think that would be perfect with a bowl of vegetable soup... or something else warm and cozy. I've also been feeling a good deal homesick. And since "home" is a relative term around here ("Home is where the Navy sends you"), I decided to start with the place that we lived last. New Mexico.
After searching for a while I realized I wouldn't find a muffin recipe that wasn't a corn muffin. And I wanted a fluffy, warm in the middle, no grainy corn meal muffin. And then I had trouble finding a muffin recipe that didn't use a mix (not that there's anything wrong with that!) or require potato flakes. Hence, the recipe I finally used tastes good... but they're not fluffy. Far from it. And I think its because I took a stock muffin recipe from my Good Housekeeping cookbook and then just tried to adjust the sugar/salt and spices accordingly. I'm not disappointed with the results.
Have a look at the recipe and let me know where you think I've gone wrong... or maybe you have a savory muffin recipe I can use? Because now, I'm on a mission for them to be perfect. Before we continue, I'd like to say thank you, thank you, thank you the Madeline for sending me a New Mexico care package. A Qatari care package is headed her way!
