PIMENTO CHEESE-STUFFED CORN MUFFINS
Freshly baked corn muffins and pimento cheese are hallmarks of the South. But instead of slathering our muffins with the creamy-sharp spread, we decided to stuff them with it. The cheesy center is a welcome surprise.

Steps:
- Stir together the Cheddar, cream cheese, pimentos, onion, cayenne, 1/2 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper in a mixing bowl until combined and creamy. Divide the cheese mixture into 12 heaping tablespoons and shape into balls. Chill the balls until firm and cold, about 20 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Coat a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray.
- Whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Whisk together the buttermilk, butter and beaten egg and yolk in another medium bowl. Fold the egg mixture into the cornmeal mixture using a rubber spatula, mixing until a slightly lumpy batter just comes together.
- Fill each prepared muffin tin cup about halfway full with some of the batter. Put a chilled cheese ball in each muffin cup, pushing down slightly so the batter swells up around the cheese. Top evenly with the remaining batter (each cheese ball will be completely covered) and dust lightly with cayenne. Bake until golden, about 15 minutes.

CIAO BELLA CHILI
I know there are a ton of chili recipes out there but just had to share mine too. I'm proud of this chili as it's a creation all my own. This chili has a true beef flavor without a lot of heat. I like to taste what I'm eating not burn my mouth off...lol. So I hope you like my creation. I use beef broth usually but the last time...
