Sweet Melissa Sunday Savory Muffins

Thank you Hanaa for this weeks recipe. It's nice to bake something besides sweets! Be sure to check out Hanaa's website for the recipe! I have enjoyed getting to know Hanaa through our fun baking groups. We also like to enter baked goods in our local fairs and enjoyed chatting about that! She is a great person and full of wonderful baking and food advice!
We adopted three Idaho State University College students through a program they offer in our church. What a great way to meet some awesome students and treat them to some homemade food every so often! Tonight we have the girls over for the first time. I made homemade Potato soup, these yummy muffins and TWD Chocolate Crunched Caramel Tart. It seems like a perfect meal for a beautiful Fall day. I look fwd to meeting them and will finish the story later!
The table is all set and ready to go...
The Baking Process.....
I thought the recipe was easy to follow and put together. I found the muffin batter to be super thick. I caramelized the onions and used cheddar cheese. I only added a 1/2 cup of onions but the full amount of cheese. I had a quick nibble of one to taste before the guests arrive. They have a savory taste and tasted good. I can't wait to see if everyone likes them and how they go with the soup! I will be back to finish this post!
The meal was fantastic and the Savory muffins were delicious. The girls (the three at the end of the table) were so sweet and so grateful for a homecooked meal. They really enjoyed the muffins and said they were great! Sorry for the flash in the mirror I couldn't avoid it!
Yum!

It is so nice of you to adopt some college kids. I remember missing home-cooked meals the most when I was in college. It looks like it was a lovely dinner, and I'm glad that the muffins were a hit!

How nice of you to adopt a few kids from the college! I'm sure they loved the home-cooked meal :) Your muffins look terrific! I think having them with soup is the perfect way to enjoy them.

Sounds like a great dinner. Adopting those young ladies while they are away from their families is comendable. Your muffins look like a great addition to your homecooked meal.

Glad these were a hit! What a wonderful program to be able to take part in! I would have given anything for non-cafeteria food my freshman year of college. Lucky girls!
