Blueberry Corn Muffins with Melissa Knific

Blueberry Corn Muffins with Melissa Knific

A brand new cookbook inspired by America’s most beautiful places, sweet cornbread blueberry muffins, and clever weeknight cooking hacks. Melissa Knific is here with fresh kitchen inspiration you’ll want to try right away.

Melissa is a food editor and recipe developer with two decades of experience shaping some of the country’s most beloved food brands. In this episode, she shares quick, practical strategies to make weeknight cooking smoother and more enjoyable. From smart prep moves to simple flavor boosts, these are real-life hacks that work.

She walks us through her Blueberry Corn Muffins, a tender and lightly sweet recipe that’s perfect for breakfast, a lunchbox treat, or a simple dessert. And we chat about her upcoming National Geographic’s National Parks Cookbook, which she co-authored with Nina Elder, bringing the flavors of the parks to your own kitchen.

Also in this episode, I give a gentle early reminder that holiday planning doesn’t have to be overwhelming. If you want a calmer Thanksgiving and holiday season, the key is to start planning for that calm now.
