How is it March already? Somehow February flew by and I didn’t manage a single blog post. I’d apologize for being an absentee blogger, but let’s face it… at this point I’m sure you’re not expecting weekly posts from me anymore 
I’ve been trying to get back into the groove of cooking regularly (more than grilled cheeses, etc) but we’re still a bit behind on progress. The little man is starting to sleep better which will help me be not so far behind on life soon… I hope! I feel like I keep saying that, but surely I’ll manage to not feel like I’m running in a million directions one of these days? Moms, tell me it gets better… please!
I’ve been on a huge muffin kick lately. Craving muffins and eating too many muffins! Sweet and savory. I actually whipped these up around the start of the new year. By the time the holidays have come and gone, I’m usually pretty sugared out; all those delicious cookies and candies can be a bit irresistible and something savory is a great way to break it up! This is a great way to use up some leftover bacon (I know what you’re thinking… what leftover bacon?), and they’re really easy to whip up which makes them particularly great! Enjoy!
Bacon & Green Onion Corn Muffins
1 cup unbleached all purpose flour
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
6 slices cooked bacon, diced
1/2 cup chopped green onions
1 cup milk
2 large eggs
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted, cooled
Preheat oven to 425°F. Grease or line twelve muffin cups with paper liners. Combine first 8 ingredients in large bowl. Whisk milk, eggs and melted butter in another bowl. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and stir just until moistened (do not overmix).
Divide batter equally among muffin cups. Bake until golden and tester inserted into center of muffins comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Cool on rack.

What’s the point of having a blog you never update? Its like trying to run a coffee shop that only sells coffee once every few month. Not even great coffee at that, just some “take it or leave it” kinda coffee. You’ve had some really great & interesting posts in the past but if you don’t care enough about your blog to ever update it no one is going to care enough to read it. Just some food for thought
Tabitha, I started this blog as a means of sharing recipes with friends. I never set out to be a professional blogger by any means. This blog still remains something I do as a hobby in my spare time. I work a demanding full-time job and have a family that takes a greater priority than my blog. I realize that means I may lose readers, but that’s what it is. I blog when I can which is rare these days. It’s here in its current capacity for those faithful readers who come back for their favorite recipes.
Geez, Tabitha, pull the stick out. Your favorite cook book doesn’t come out with new recipes every week, does it? This place is still a treasure trove of recipe awesomeness that I use all.the.time. Ashley, you’re doing an amazing job juggling life as a working mom–keep it up!!
