Corn Muffins

We are having an unusually cold start to our March here in Atlanta.  (In like a lion I guess.) Yesterday we braved the cold weather to watch my daughter's very first soccer game of the season.   It was cold but it was well worth all the shivering and teeth chattering because it was a great game.

We also bundled up for the start of baseball season last week.

Don't let the sunshine in the picture fool you, it was bitter cold that night.  I am never one to complain about outdoor sports but sitting outside in 30 degree weather is pushing my tolerance.   I was ready to come home to a big bowl of chili and some warm corn bread muffins.  Anyone else feeling the need for chili and corn bread in this chilly weather?

Fill greased muffin cups ¾ full.

I went a little overboard with the pictures so bear with me.

 I love when the sun cooperates and adds great lighting to my pictures.

Ciao!
