Carbs and I get along so well. I could easily skip dinner and eat an entire loaf of bread. And I’m definitely one of those girls at those fancy schmancy restaurants asking for 3 bread basket refills before our meal actually comes out. That being said, having a dozen of these jalapeno cornbread muffins around the house was bad news because with a drizzle of honey, I ate every. single. one.
