Green Chile & Cheddar Corn Muffins

Sometimes I read recipes and get really excited when I realize that I have everything needed for that recipe right in my cabinets (which isn't often since I shop per meal usually). Today was one of those days....until I realized I was missing something and got all bummed out. I went on with my day and ran some errands. While at CVS waiting for a prescription to be ready, I browsed the canned goods aisle (like you don't...) and found my missing ingredient - green chiles!

I just realized it's slightly sad that that comment merited an exclamation point.

Anyways, I came home and whipped up some Green Chile & Cheddar Corn muffins. They have 5 more minutes in the oven, so by the time they cook and I can take my final picture, I'll be able to finish this post and let you know. While I wait, I'm going to check out what Kelsey is making on the cooking channel (we're on a first name basis now).

Beautiful

They are super delicious and not nearly as spicy as I thought they'd be, which is good. It's got a nice hint of heat.
