msmofet, that bread looks incredible!

I missed your comment about not having a microwave, kitchengoddess. I would imagine defrosting muffins in a toaster oven would dry them out. I also agree that freezing muffins can affect the flavor if frozen too long. I always store freshly made French bread on the counter top in a plastic...

Not sure if this has already been mentioned, but I know some people who enjoy chili on top of pasta. I'm like most of you - I love chili with a side of cornbread, though I like to make mine with some natural bran. It makes the cornbread heartier and a bit healthier & very tasty! Of course, I...
