This week the bakers at Tuesdays with Dorie took a more savory route. However, it was still sweet but also spicy! This week, Rebecca of Ezra Pound Cake chose Savory Corn and Pepper Muffins on page 6 of Dorie Greenspan's Baking: From My Home to Yours.
I made these knowing that Grumpy doesn't care for corn muffins or corn bread. But, because it was different, I figured he couldn't be, well, Grumpy with me for doing it. ;0) I made these to go with our lentil soup that we had on Saturday. They were pretty good, but as far as Grumpy was concerned, they were still cornbread. I liked the addition of red pepper, jalapeno, corn and cilantro....oh and don't forget the chili powder! I thought it went pretty good with the soup.
But, because it is only l'il ole me and big ole Grumpy in our house anymore, I probably won't make them again unless we are having a chili fest somewhere and I can take them where others can enjoy also. If your a cornbread lover and if you like spicy and sweet mixed, you will love these!

Oh wow - you have very handsome muffins with smooth domed tops! I have strange shaped little gremlins that were never going to be handsome, but taste very good.
These would go great with the lentil stew! I cam just imagine the yummy smells in you kitchen!
They do look perfect. I loved these muffins too, they lend themselves well to so many applications.
YUM!
Seriously girl, how could our hubs not like these wonderful muffins! Men can be weird sometimes. Yours are oozing with tastiness!
these are fantastic- what light texture and would be delicious with lentil soup!
Lovely photos! It's too bad your husband doesn't like corn bread!
Pretty muffins your soup sounds fabulous too!
Very well done, Honey B... they look marvelous!
They look scrumptious!
Sounds really good with lentil soup. And a chili festival, huh? That seems pretty fun. Maybe I'll wait for one too and make up another batch.
I love these muffins - must taste amazing with the all the spices.
Great looking muffins!
Wow, your muffins look fantastic! I bet they were great with lentil soup!
We love cornbread in our house. Especially the sweet/spicy kind. YUM.

How funny! Poor Grumpy. My hubby feels the same about sugar cookies! Your pictures came out lovely, as did your muffins. I just love your blog!
I love corn bread and corn muffins....they look great!
Im kinda like Grumpy about corn bread. But I love the spicy additions, so i think i might make these and maybe add some cheese too... mmmm!
Nice job shelby! looks good!
These look good Shelby, I love all the additions in them!
I see you achieved the coveted muffin tops!
I love corn muffins and these sound fabulous!
Grumpy just doesn't know a good muffin. These were good weren't they. Yours look great. Nice job. I loved all the color in them.
They look VERY good!
Nice job. :)
Great photos!
I think they look excellent. I am sure they would be perfect with a big pot of chili.
Lentil soup sounds perfect with these...they look really really good. Grumpy doesn't know what he is missing!
Yours look graat good job!
Sorry your hubby didn't liked them. Your pictures look great! I thought they were super easy to make and very tasty! See ya next week.
Your muffins look great! I probably won't make these again either. Corn muffins isn't something I ever crave.
Forget about Grumpy ;) I'll come eat cornbread at your house any ole time! Those look great--I have that book, I need to go find the recipe...
Just the mention of lentil soup makes me want some more of these little guys! They look fabulous!
Gorgeous muffins.
Beautiful muffins & what a great pairing of soup. Bummer your honey isn't onto corn muffins, but good for you for giving it a go ;).
Those are some good looking muffins!
I love the close up photos!! YUM!
I love those green and red flecks of color in your muffins! They look absolutely gorgeous!
I'm sure your muffins taste wonderful...but your photos are stunning!!
Now a chili fest sounds amazing and these would be the perfect side!
Beautiful photos!
Your photography really captures the texture and golden color of these muffins. The more I've thought about it, the more I think these might be too spicy to go with a spicy chili. I like the idea of pairing them with soup. It's too bad Grumpy doesn't like them!
This looks delicious! I love corn bread! I don't know if my boys would like the spicy bits though.
I got a new computer tower today. I couldn't stand not having a computer!
i probably wouldn't make them again either, but i would like to try the plain version. i like sweet cornbread way better.
I like the sound of these savoury corn and pepper muffins.
Great pictures! I ended up skipping these. The girls wouldn't eat them even with the modifications I planned to make. And Jamie's not feeling good, so I'd be eating them alone. Maybe another time...
My man didn't like these either - or I should say, he didn't like the looks of them and so he would not eat them. Unfortunately that means I'm in the same boat as you - I liked them but I doubt I'll be able to justify making them again! Better luck next time :)
The look scrumptious!
I think they look fantastic - but I love cornbread :)
Wonderful job, Shelby! These look SO good!
your corn muffins turned out beautifully! I love lentils, and that stew recipe sounds delicious...i'm going to have to try it.
Big fan of corn muffins and these look awesome!
I enjoyed mine with lentil soup as well. These would be hard to pass off on someone who doesn't like cornbread, but I thought they were really good.
Mmmm, lentil soup would hit the spot right now. Good-looking muffins, even if Grumpy hated on them. ;)
Great looking muffins! They would be great with your lentil soup. Yum!
Your muffins looks so tasty and festive! Great job!
Your muffins are gorgeous-and so uniform!
Your muffins look so tasty - I know what it's like to cook something that only I like. The plus side is you didn't need to share them!
