The recipe called for 1 teaspoon of the mixture to be used for each of the cheese muffins which did not make sense to me. I used slightly more and still ended up with 21 small muffins.

Head straight on to the Recipe For ♥ Cheese Muffins ♥
16 years, 8 months and 2 weeks after we moved into our cottage, we moved into the main bedroom. It is not as if the house took us that long to build. But I was adamant we would not move until the room was 100% complete. And despite my best intentions, I caved. We (meaning Dave and James) moved the bunk beds into the downstairs guest bedroom. And with our bedroom now cleared, Dave suggested we move into it. We have friends coming to stay in December and it made the most sense to have them all in the house. The drawers have not yet been built so we (Dave and I) moved the chest of drawers into the room so Dave has easy access to his clothes.

The upside of this was that Dave has decided to create a built in chest of drawers which will give us (read him) plenty of space for his clothes. I have drawers that have moved with me since I first left home. This will serve its purpose until my drawers are designed. The first night in our ‘new’ bedroom was weird. The lighting was all wrong, and the space too big. The second night was slightly better. On the third evening I opened the blinds in the gym and that helped a lot. Since then I have had consistently good sleep. I wonder how much that has to do with us facing east? It is something I once read, and what I kept in mind when we designed the house. Which way does your bed face, and do you sleep with some ambient light or not?

To answer your question: I require 100% darkness to sleep or I’m up all night. But the muffins look so tasty and moist! And I gotta feeling we are going to need more muffins these days!
The same as my dad!
Savoury muffins are the best – you’ve got a wonderful flavour profile here!
Thank you Ben 🙂
I think our bed faces east; is there an iPhone compass app that would tell me?
there is indeed – a standard built in one on my iPhone 🙂
Hi Tandy, I cannot sleep in complete darkness and have a dim light on at night. This muffin recipe looks very nice.
I gather it doesn’t bother Terence?
The flavors in these sound wonderful. I think I prefer savory to sweet.
For muffins I am with you 🙂
Flavored cream cheese is always tempting. I like the idea of hot peppers instead of the more usual mild pimento add-in.

I really enjoyed this even though I am not usually a fan of spicy food.
