Spice things up in the kitchen this Valentine’s Day with February’s featured muffin. Inspired by a suggestion from Lauren Helen in last month’s post, I put together this savory, spicy cheddar muffin. If you (or someone you have the hots for) aren’t keen on sweets, these would be a great treat!
Try these spicy, cheesy thangs as a side to homemade chili and a refreshing salad!
