A long time favorite, both from my childhood and that of my family now, is sweet cornbread. There is just nothing like sliding cornbread fresh from the oven, slicing a piece open and slathering it with butter and honey. Oh my word, my mouth is just watering and you can guess that dinner tonight will center around cornbread. That's a given!This recipe is tailor made for butter and honey, drizzled over a steaming hot piece of cornbread like syrup.
So I invite you to throw some chicken in the oven, toss a green salad, boil some ears of corn (bring water to a boil and throw corn in for only 3 minutes. Gets the corn hot but keeps it fresh, crisp and nutritious.) And top the whole thing off with some delicious cornbread.

Mmm, I'll have to try that cornbread sometime. My kids can never get enough of it.
ReplyDeletePS I love Mormonblogger.com. Thanks so much for giving the LDS community a wonderful network!
Hey Pink Ink, thanks for dropping by! The cornbread is fantastic and a favorite in our house. My husband and nephew always get such big grins on their faces when they walk into the house and smell it cooking.
ReplyDeleteAs to Mormon Bloggers Speak Out, no problem. I wanted to do something and I'm pretty excited about it and how well it's being received.
