October is here and that means one thing in my house…
It’s game day!
Well, I should rephrase that. Game day comes a few times a week, along with pumpkins, cozy sweaters, cool weather, and lots of comfort foods.
Fall is upon us and so are all of the fall sports! And that makes for a happy hubster around my house.
If you’ve been hanging around here long enough, then you might remember that the hubster is a huge sports fan. He always amazes me with his vast knowledge about players, stats, games, updates, and more. It really is sports season year-round in my neck of the woods, but come fall, football is where it’s at.
I will admit that I’m not a big fan of sports in general, though I do love to go to sporting events. But, let’s get real, it’s all about the food and drinks, right? And the people watching, too.
And when it’s game day in my house, you can bet that the only way to get me in front of the TV is with some tasty snacks to keep my interest.
After all, game day is all about the food…am I right? With the help of Krusteaz Fire Roasted Cornbread Mix, I whipped up the best snack to keep everyone happy during the big game.

You know what makes these Cheesy Cornbread Muffins even better? Whipped honey butter! I made some to slather on top of these muffins and it is insanely delicious. It’s the perfect finishing touch for these zesty muffins. And so easy to make, too! But, you knew that was coming, right?
Simply cream together some unsalted butter and then add honey and a touch of vanilla. Keep refrigerated until you’re ready to serve the muffins and then slather on and let your taste buds thank you.
One bite of these Cheesy Cornbread Muffins and you’ll fall in love with the soft texture, zesty spices, and cheesy chili lime topping. Pair it alongside some whipped honey butter and your game day feast couldn’t get any better!
