Week 4 that turned into Week 5

Whoops.  I may have chosen to fly to Vegas instead of working on Week 5.  My bad.
However, Jeremiah and I had a ton of fun.  I introduced him to In-N-Out Burger - which may have changed his life.
For those who haven't had the opportunity to ooh and ahh over an In-N-Out Burger, get on a plane, fly south and west (think California), and run - don't walk- to the nearest restaurant.  Order a double double animal style.  Thank me later.

As promised, the next adventure into the cookbook is Bacon-Corn Muffins.  This was a really easy recipe.  Just a few ingredients whipped together and baked in muffin cups for 20 minutes.  The hardest part was cooking the bacon and not eating it before it made it into the muffins. 

I made up a batch of my favorite White Chicken Chili to go with the Bacon-Corn Muffins.  Not going to lie.  That stuff is super duper good, and would make anything taste amazing.  The Bacon-Corn Muffins were pretty good because of the amazing chili.

However, let's be serious.  5 slices of bacon for 12 muffins.  Who are we kidding?  That was not nearly enough bacon.  We are Americans!  Give us more bacon!

Second, they were a bit overcooked so a little dry.  Naturally, this is my fault....but I was trying to make the muffins, make the chili, and entertain a toddler while my husband helped by keeping me up-to-date on the Vikes score. 

All in all, Vegas was awesome and the muffins were decent.  Next week we will not be choosing a recipe at random.  In honor of the Schlender Christmas we are hosting at our house next week, I will attempt to make New England Clam Chowder - a tradition at the Schlender Family Christmas.  So, we will skip ahead to the soups and come back to cakes the following week.
