Sweet and savory corn muffins that are ready in a synch. Every time I bake corn muffins, it reminds me of summer. And in this mid-February dreary New Jersey weather, I can use a taste of it. I have a permanent chill in my bones from December through March.
Your kitchen will smell heavenly with all the crispy bacon.
Just when I convince myself that it’s OK to drop everything and move to a warmer state, spring wakes up with blooming daffodils… and… and… I end up falling in love with New Jersey’s four seasons all over again.
I love seeing the neon green buds on trees, complemented by sprouting flowers and scurrying animals. It’s amazing that all this life can survive an icy, dark winter. These corn muffins are a nod to summer, please come soon!
