Author Notes

One of my favorite places to go out to lunch with my boyfriend is at the restaurant, The Old Post. It's just a little hole in the wall, local pub that has the feel of 'old Missoula, Montana. I love it! They have the most unique and delicious menu.

I have never left there disappointed and my belly is always pleasantly full! One of my favorite lunches is their bowl of Chili (only $2.95!!!) with their homemade Jalapeno Corn Muffins. I love this twist on corn muffins and decided to recreate their muffins but also adding my own twist to the recipe! These muffins go perfect with any Mexican or hearty dish!
