Not as flavorful as we expected. We could taste the cinnamon and walnut. We only let it marinate for an hour and a half. If we remade it, I would let it sit overnight. I would have used more than 2 cups crumbled cornbread. Save the remaining, uncrumpled cornbread and eat it with the meal. I like how it was different and the ease at which it was to prepare.

<p>After 9 years(!) I thought I should update my profile and hopefully add more recipes soon. I still love to cook and love Food.com (good old recipezaar!) but my updaate is that my husband and son have become more adventurous eaters. When I started on this site my son was 3 or 4 months old. He's almost 9 now and HE cooks! I'm trying to raise a really well rounded, healthy son and teaching him that cooking is fun has been a joy. I'd like to thank those folks who have tried and reviewed my recipes. I make stuff up and try to only post the successes. I love this website and every single one of its contributors. You've helped feed my family for a decade.</p>
