Jalapeño-Cheddar Cornbread Muffins
Last week I got a craving for spicy cornbread, so I baked up a batch of these jalapeño-cheddar cornbread muffins. Still warm from the oven, and spicy, savory, and a little bit sweet, they were all that I’d been dreaming of. Here’s the recipe so you can bake your own batch of cornbready-goodness.

Though lemon and rhubarb are both tart, there’s juuuust enough sugar in […]
