Take-out Tuesday, Julie’s Creamy Corn Muffins

What a weekend, the controverisal Kentucky Derby, Cinco de Mayo and a dance recital, and Monday baseball playoff game, not much time for cooking but I did make these muffins for our Cinco de Mayo Sunday Supper

The original plan was Chicken Fajitas with Enchilada Rice Casserole, but I really wanted to make these muffins.  HHjr said, “How about I make a Chicken Fajita Salad instead?”

Yes please!

These muffins are soooooo easy to make,

in 5 minutes they are ready to put in the oven

Mix everything together in a large bowl

Scoop into a paper lined muffin pan

Bake for 30 minutes

These muffins are lighter than cornbread and very moist

Enjoy!

I got the recipe from my friend Julie @Julie’s Creative Lifestyle

Thank you Julie!

I halved her recipe and substituted evaporated milk for milk

    I am going to make these muffins for sure. They are much lighter and a better summer recipe than the made from scratch cornbread I sometimes make. Your weekend was busy but it was a fun weekend. Hope you’ve found a few minutes to relax…….

  8. I want that as my first meal after I go off my pre-wedding diet!! Have a wonderful week, Jenna.

    Yummy! I have a very close recipe but we just put it in a casserole dish and bake and it is so good, too. Hubby loves it so I know the muffins would be a hit as well. The salad sounds wonderful! Pinning! 😋
