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)

A Wicked Kind of Dark Cover Reveal Giveaway

Author Jonathan K. Benton

Jonathan Benton always wanted to write books, having won first place in a short story competition when he was ten. Inspired by writes such as Ray Bradbury and Stephen King, Jonathan first discovered the crossover genre of literary/fantasy while reading Bradbury’s Something Wicked This Way Comes.
Jonathan grew up in New Zealand, dreaming of travelling to London and finally making the pilgrimage in his mid-twenties. Returning from England, he settled in Australia, the country he now calls home, and decided to take his writing seriously.

A Wicked Kind of Dark

Robert Duncan no longer believes in magic. A mysterious call about a blood moon, however, leads him back to the magical world of his childhood and to Luthien, the beautiful girl with flame-coloured hair, who he loved and lost.

As Robert unravels the secrets of his childhood, darkness enters his life and an ancient evil awakens. To have any chance of defeating the dark forces that would destroy two worlds, Robert must find Luthien before the rise of the blood moon. He must, once more, believe in magic …

A Wicked Kind of Dark mixes vast and spectacular fantasy landscapes with gritty urban reality. A must-read for people of all ages who believe in the power of imagination, and the importance of never losing touch with your inner child.
