NO TWD TODAY

By -
I wasn't able to make the Savory Corn and Pepper Muffins that we were supposed to make this week. Partly because I'm not a big corn muffin fan and there was a snow storm here yesterday and I didn't feel like making an unnecessary stop at the grocery store.

However, I would like to make these at some point, because unlike sweet corn muffins these corn muffins reduce the sugar and you get to add chili powder and jalapenos! That is my kind of corn muffin, sweet and savory. Although I could probably do without the whole kernels of corn in the muffin... that kind of frightens me. But I would be willing to give it a shot.

I now have to get back to work, hoping that they are kind and turn up the heat at the school... since there will be a high of NEGATIVE 2 degrees today. barf.

You know what's funny? You say you don't care for corn muffins, but then you have them right up there at the top of your blog with pink icing on them. What a strange dichotomy. :)

I hope you get to try these soon - they are really good. Spring is only 3 months away. Hang in there, Sabrina.

To bad you were not able to make these they were very good. I was a bit on the fence about having the corn in it but you can even tell they are there. Very tasty with a bowl of chili!

Dang girl, I thought 7 above was cold. sorry. I'll stop whining. No worries here I wouldn't make a trip to the store either especially if you don't like corn muffins. Sometime before June and spring you might want to pull them out of the oven just for fun. You could leave out the corn. Have a great day and I hope you stay warm. Thanks for visiting me.

A Book and A Giveaway

As I said I would be doing in my 7 Resolutions, I am reading a book a week. This past week I read the book Precious, based on the Novel Push by Sapphire. I'm sure most of you have heard about the movie based on the novel. The book club that I belong to is reading this book and now that I read it, I am going to give it away. The book was very eye opening, raw. You really don't want to believe that children have to live like this, that this is reality for many children\teens. Incest, rape, abuse, lack of education, lack of everything! I know this stuff happens, but you don't want to believe it. I work at a Middle School, and I look around and wonder what happens to some of these kids when they go home. My heart breaks. It's not an easy read by any means, but it will make you think and feel. If you would like this book just leave me a comment. I'll post a winner on Feb. 1.
