Green Chilies Corn Muffins
"This recipe is published in one of my favorite little cookbooks, "Taste of Home Fast Fixes with Mixes." My daughter made these terrific muffins while she was here on vacation. They were very easy to make using a cake mix and corn bread mix. To double the recipe, use a standard 18-ounce box of yellow cake mix. These go great with chili, mexican soup and other tex-mex dishes. Everybody, adults and kids alike, loved them. If I recall correctly, she did not use paper muffin liners, they were put into greased tins. She made several standard size muffins as well as jumbo muffins. These would freeze well so is good for OAMC."

My second batch of these is baking right now. I was looking for a recipe I saw before with cheese and chilies when I stumbled across this one. I needed a lot of muffins for a chili cook off. I wasn't sure about the cake mix, but it made the muffins sweet and so yummy. My fussy 6 and 8 yr. olds are hovering the kitchen right now hoping to get another one. This is going to be a potluck go to recipe for me. Thanks! YUM!

I live in beautiful San Diego where there's never nothin to do. We almost never have days where you can't get outdoors. For fun I love to read, cook, take road trips with my grandson, whom I raise. Take long walks along the beach, bays and lakes. My live in grandson is 12 and the light of my life. I've been teaching him to fish, or should I say I'm exposing him to lake fishing, the people we meet along the way are teaching him while I read and watch. He's dying to go ocean fishing, that one makes me a bit more nervous, but we'll start that soon, probably from piers to start. Nick's only one of my grandchildren though, I have a total of 13, three live in Kansas, the land of Oz. The last time I visited them, it was Christmas time and when I stepped off the plane, the cold air took my breath away and standing there waiting for me in a short-sleeved T-shirt, was my son-in-law. Needless, to say, I spent many days there staying indoors praying for the day I could get back to sunny California -- I never had to endure snow the whole time, thank God! Twenty degrees daily was way out of my comfort zone by a very large margin. There truly is no place like home. I have 8 other grandchildren that are fortunate enought to live in San Diego too. We spend weekends doing things together such as taking in the zoo, wild animal park, Sea World, Knotts Soak City water park (summer), museums, fishing, picknicking and just hanging out. They all love to help grandma cook in the kitchen. I have many cookbooks and can read them like I'd read a novel. My passions are my family, my two boston terriers, Tuffy and Oreo, and gardening, cooking and reading -- oh yeah, I'm totally addicted to Zaar. I don't really have many pet peeves, but a biggie is mean, obnoxious people and those who think they know it all, and liars, I can pick out a deceitful person it an instant. If you can't trust someone, then nothings worth salvaging in the relationship. I hate those who disrespect the environment (no I'm not a tree hugger) but I do hate to see people litter and fail to do simple things such as picking up after themselves in the outdoors such as parks and beaches, and how easy is it to recycle? It's really not too difficult to make an impact on the environment if everybody takes responsibility for their "trash."
