Creamed Corn Cornbread Muffins

Just made Creamed Corn Cornbread Muffins

Recipe - Creamed Corn Cornbread Muffins (Click HERE)

Dry Ingredients in one bowl, we ingredients in other, then mix together


Ready to put in the oven


All Done

I have never made these before, yet I am looking for a specific taste of a "corn" muffin that I had years ago.

SO I will be trying out new "Corn" muffin recipes until I find what I like.

This one is good, yet not what I was looking for. What I was looking for was maybe a bit more cake like.

The texture is this muffin is nice.

I really like adding corn meal to muffins. I always add corn meal to my banana muffins.

Chicken Pot Pie - Supper tonight!

Here it is! This is what we made and ate for supper tonight.

Prior to cooking!

After cooking!

In the plate!

And the Pie Crust
Click here for the PIE CRUST recipe that was used!
My Modifications:

• Shredded the frozen butter instead of using cubed butter (mixing it into flour mixture while shredding)
• Don't have a food processor, so kneaded it slightly and due to shredded butter it was quite simple. 

And the Chicken pot pie recipe
Click here for the CHICKEN POT PIE recipe that was used!
My Modifications:

• Omitted Celery
• Added a medium diced potato
• Added a pinch more celery seed
• As others indicated in feedback - used 2 Cups chicken broth to cook the vegetables and chicken.

• For they "gravy" part I put the milk in a separate bowl cold, and mixed the flour and a bit of corn starch to it while cold.  Then added it separately to the onion and butter mixture, then poured all the veggie/chicken with broth mixture into that and simmered until thickened.  (and you can see that in the fry pan above the uncooked pie.)
• Added 1/2 tsp of garlic powder (with the pepper/salt/celery seed)
• Added 1/4 tsp of cumin (with the pepper/salt/celery seed)
