Ok, two consecutive posts about non-traditional savory muffins. It may sound strange that I have adapted multiple meals into muffins cups, but I ask you to remember these three things: miniature food is adorable, portion control, and tiny toddler hands. I am all about lightening meals by substituting ground turkey or chicken for beef. Where I tend to make my mistake is in volume. Our family has about 2.25 people, but I usually make enough food to feed four to six, and as you know, leftovers are not my thing. Muffins are the perfect single serving portion and make it way easier for freezing and reheating in a couple weeks when I am ready to eat it again. Second, I have a toddler. She eats everything with her hands. The smaller it is, the better… enough said. I like to serve these meaty nuggets with a mustard tomato sauce courtesy of my mother-in-law.
As husband and taste tester I can’t sum it up any better than the Muffin Man himself
“Some people… some people like cupcakes exclusively, while myself, I say
There is naught nor ought there be nothing so exalted on the face of God’s grey
Earth as that prince of foods… the muffin!”
