Southern Broccoli Cornbread
"My fiance and I eat at this little country restaurant that serves corn muffins with broccoli in them and they are to die for, especially for a broccoli lover like me. They also aren't open to sharing recipes... so this is my best approximation on how they make it (with onions and cheese added). I tried this on my fiance and his brother and it got good reviews... so I am satisfied."

This was met by rave reviews from my 4 yr old DD. Between the two of us we finished the whole pan in one day! The only thing I wasn't crazy about was the crispness of the onions. They seemed underdone to me, even though they were chopped very fine. I think next time I will saute the onions first to soften them up a little, and also maybe add a little salt to balance out the sweetness of the cornbread. Great fun recipe.

The restaurant wouldn’t be near Madisonville, would it?

My name is Abby. I am a native Texan and I live in North Houston with my fantabulous new husband and our German Shepherd.
I teach high school English.
I just started REALLY cooking in late 2007. Before that it was a struggle to get me to make a grilled cheese and I always convinced people to cook for me. I think I felt a calling to learn how to cook because of the "Ta Da" factor!! Being an artist, I love to step back and say "Ta Da!! Look what I made!"... it's a good feeling. And with cooking when you're done, you get to eat it!!
UPDATE: Since the new year, I have started cooking healthier and living a more active lifestyle. I feel better and the new recipes I post will probably reflect this change. :)
