Perfect Cornbread Muffins with Corn
Take advantage of freshly milled cornmeal from Hickory Nut Farm, frozen sweet corn from Alsum's Sweet Corn, and some great cheese from your favorite DCFM cheese maker. In this cold weather there's not much that goes better with home made corn bread than a bowl of chili featuring meat, onions, and more from the Dane County Farmers' Market [RECIPE].
