After seeing posts from this group all over the blog-world, finally the TWD (Tuesdays With Dorie) group was open to new members to celebrate their one year anniversary. I'm in! :) This group takes a recipe from the book Baking From My Home To Yours by Dorie Greenspan and posts about it each Tuesday.
My theory is that by doing this I will be spreading my wings and learn more about baking. You really can teach an old dog new tricks!

This week's recipe is Savory Corn and Pepper Muffins. Keith and I both like hot (read that as spicey) foods and since these muffins have a southwestern flair I knew we'd enjoy them. The batter contains a bit of chili powder, some chopped jalapeno, chopped red pepper, chopped fresh cilantro and corn. After mixing the batter I had to take the bowl into the living room and have Keith smell it - it was that good.
These muffins were wonderful with just the right amount of kick to them. In fact, we both were enamored enough that they will go into our normal rotation now. And I will admit that I was a little worried serving these to Keith since he's not a fan of any kind of cornbread. The fact that he liked these tells a lot about how good they are.
And now I have a confession to make - this morning I found the frozen corn package still in the microwave. I HAD FORGOTTEN TO ADD THE CORN!!! So...I'm here to tell you that these are fabulous even when you don't follow the recipe exactly!
And these muffins go absolutely perfect sitting alongside a bowl of taco soup. Dinner was a huge success last night!
Good times....

I can't handle 'kicky' food, but these were great.
Welcome to TWD.
Welcome to TWD! Your muffins look great!
Glad you liked the muffins. Welcome to TWD
Glad these worked out for you in spite of forgetting the corn. Welcome to TWD!!
I am glad you liked them. They were very tasty with a nice bowl of chili!
oh good, thought it was only me that couldn't see the pictures! they sound yummy but might be a little to spicey for me but I'm sure I can tone it down a bit!
Welcome to the club! I, too, joined TWD to push my baking evelope, or rolling pin. I am also from Texas! Will visit your site often! Way to go.
Welcome to TWD! The corn in the microwave sooo sounds like something I would do. You'll fit in just fine here.
Welcome to TWD! I'm glad you liked the muffins even without the corn.
Welcome to TWD! Good to hear you liked these, I loved them too!!
Welcome to TwD! I would say your muffins look great, but as you noted, your pictures aren't showing. I can visualize though lol
Welcome to the group! I thought the corn didn't add much to the recipe, so maybe it was for the best that you forgot it. Glad you liked these!
Welcome to TWD! I too forgot to add the corn! They were still delicious anyway! Great job on the muffins.
I agree that these were wonderful! You did a beautiful job!
WELCOME to TWD! Glad you enjoyed the muffins, even if you forgot the corn! Great job.
So every tuesday you make something... hmmm perfect time for us to visit *wink*
that looks super good.
Those look delicious! To think, I was going to make jalepeno corbread to go with tonight's pot of beans, but decided against it when I discovered I was out of corn. I should've just winged it, but who knew? ;-Þ
I emailed you earlier today, Elizabeth, but thought I'd let you know here too. You won my sock monkey giveaway. Congratulations!
Send me your mailing information and your preference (brown or blue monkey), and I'll get it out to you this week.
