Life is not always as we plan it. Take for example yesterday. As promised I was going to share with you some delicious muffins but Comcast thought I’d be better without internet connection most of the day.
The same I can say about these muffins.
About 2 months ago I was searching for a savory muffins recipe and stumble upon these polenta muffins. Polenta, fresh chives, basil and parsley – all in one flavorful goodness muffin. The idea of digging into them put a big smile on my face. There was only one problem, no one in my family eats polenta. I couldn’t have baked muffins just for me, what kind of wife and mother am i?
Few weeks ago, while hubby was out I decided to give these muffins a try, just for me, half batch. Got all the ingredients out of the pantry, chopped the fresh herbs, give them a quick mix, poured into the pan and waited to bake. Everything was going by the book, except one thing : hubby came home early and the moment he saw the muffins digged into one. After he had he second one I told him they’re made with polenta. He didn’t seem to care, he love them. What do you know, he’s eating polenta!!!
Last week I made them again. This time I went with the whole batch. There’s no turning back. I see these muffins baking in my oven at least once a month. They are a great breakfast treat or as an after nap snack for Tiffany.
Even if you’re or not a polenta lover you’re going to love these. Promise, pinky promise.
Yeah, they are that good!!
To make your own muffins you have to get the recipe from my friend Cristina’s blog
That’s about it for today. Thank you all for stopping by. Hope you’re having a great day.
Sending you lots of love,
Roxana

Grrrrr on the no Internet! Those incidents drive me batty
Or maybe I was already batty? Anyway, back to your gorgeous muffins…they look perfect. And your little beauty seems to like them, too 
So sweet
Ha! You've turned your hubby LOL! The muffins look fabulous, great recipe.
*kisses* HH
My husband does the same thing
) when he sees me enjoying something he previously didn't want to have anything to do with, he strangely changes his mind and wants all of it 
) you know what they say, you always want something more when you can't have it! I've never had polenta muffins, sounds interesting! Your baby girl is so sweeeeet!
Yay! Polenta that is such a great healthy idea! Love it. Thanks, Roxana
Tiffany is so cute. I just want to hug her!
Argh! I hate when those things happen… So glad you finally got the post out
Love how this recipe sounds, and I will go check it out… LOVE the picture of Tiffany! She is absolutely adorable… Thanks for sharing, Roxana! 
Polenta muffins sound like a fabulous idea and so wonderful with the herbs too. A must try for sure!
Muffins look yumm and healthy too.

I recently started liking polenta .. and find it very comforting. These looks delicious
I'm so sure these muffins would go great with soup or chili. We all like polenta at our house but don't seem to eat it often enough.
Oh, Tiffany is adorable! Her double fisted grab proves that these are outstanding. Wouldn't your husband have liked them just as much if you simply told him they were corn muffins instead of polenta? They do look delicious.
Hey! First time here and I found your blog is great! Full of savoury recipes! Your daughter looks so cute with the muffins!
Awwww you daughter is so adorable(my youngest son is standing next to me and saying awww look at that cutie pie face with muffins!:))he can say pretty impressive stuff for 4 and half:)))
Your muffins look amazing Roxana, I love polenta and this recipe is wonderful..I got to try it!!!
Oh my goodness, she is GORGEOUS!!! I want to pinch her!!
The muffins sound terrific…love the mix of herbs in there.
First of all, your daughter is too, too adorable! She looks pretty happy to have those two muffins in her hands.
Don't you just love when things turn out like that? Foods that you think would never pass muster with your family become instant favorites. Love it!
Aww..your daughter is so cute…and herbed muffins sounds too good.
Those herb muffins look scrumpy! Your daughter looks so sweet!
I instead am a big fan of polenta! Great recipe, these muffins look so yummy!!!

What a clever idea to use polenta for muffins and with fresh herbs must be extra nice – easy to understand by your hubby enjoyed them too and your daughter is absolutely adorable!

Roxanna…what a great day for me to come back for a visit…I love savoury muffins…the gluten free aspect of the polenta is certainly a bonus!
As soon as the humid days pass…I'll be cranking up my oven to give these tasty cuties a try. Thanks for sharing a treat which got the thumbs up from your dearest Tiffany and Hubby of course ;O)
Ciao for now and flavourful wishes,
Claudia
Can I just say that your daughter is SO adorable and cute!? I love how your whole family now thinks differently about polenta! Knew you could do it!
Awww I love the last picture of Tiffany holding 2 muffins! She knows what's good and she's so lucky to have you as a mom who bakes yummy treats!
Hi Roxana: I'm so glad you and your family liked these muffins. It has such a great texture and flavors and fantastic for any time of the day. Thank you so much for the kind mention

Sometimes it's better to have a guy try it without knowing what it's made from! My husband is the same way. I like herbs in these muffins and wow that polenta can be made to muffins!
i never thought about putting polenta in a muffin! love this idea!! and your baby is adorable~~~~
Nice photos! I love how the cloth color coordinated with the muffins.
Wow, Roxana! You did an amazing job with the savory polenta muffins. It almost reminds me of a cornbread, or corn muffins recipe. So moist and delicious.
Your little daughter is so adorably cute…a little sweetheart:DDD
I did a shoutout to you re: yeast rolls, and breads on my last post, you are one of the few yeast dough bakers that I admire so much!
Look at that precious face…she looks like she is really loving those muffins
They do look great and I enjoy polenta…
