Ella’s Corn Muffins

I have posted a featured article on this site how working with soil is healthy not for only for the food grown but for the mind and body. I have also posted in this diary about how cooking can relieve stress. Recently I have come to be aware of how certain foods are ‘comfort foods.’

I mentioned on the post for Fat Tuesday, Many are invited, few are chosen, all the great food we enjoyed that night, but I failed to mention the biggest hit of all in the dinner, Ella’s homemade corn muffins. Ella used to give me patch quilts in gratitude for driving her various places. Now that I have so many excellent patch quilts, she shows her gratitude by supplying our family with her delicious homemade corn muffins.

There is something about her corn muffins that have a universal good feeling about them. Some persons have ice cream or chocolate as comfort foods. I find frozen custard, a Milwaukee specialty, and cheese, a Wisconsin specialty, to be comfort foods. But Ella’s corn muffins are a comfort food everyone can enjoy.
