Deliciousmuffins. Blue cornmeal was difficult to find but I finally came across it in a health food store. It has a blue-gray color and a pleasant, nutty flavor that is different that yellow or white cornmeal. These had nice flavor and texture and were just a little dry so might benefit from a bit more moisture. I made half with green chilies and the other half without. The green chili butter was very tasty, as was honey on the plain muffins. They were perfect with a bowl of soup. Thanks Tink for a fun recipe that introduced my family to a new food. Made for Ali Baba's Babes for ZWT5.

Hi! I am happily married with two children, 26 and 12. For nearly 10 years when this site was Recipezaar and then Food.com I hosted several different forums. I enjoyed making, creating, reviewing, and photographing recipes, but what I miss the most are the friendships I made here. I was Food Editor for the Mill Creek View Newspaper in Mill Creek, WA. for about 4 years during that time. Currently I am the office manager at a small mental health clinic. I'm not on this site much anymore, but I do continue to appreciate and respond to all reviews posted to my recipes.
