This was a lovely cornbread, it was firm, moist, tender, fluffy and delicious. It was not sweet and had a gritty texture. It was the perfect match for recipe #261575. What a wonderful side dish it made; I put the ribs and gravy on top of the cornbread, served with homemade coleslaw, what a treat it all was. Thank you for sharing a recipe that we will enjoy again. Made for Pac Spring Safari 2013.

<p>Formerly an enthusiastic cook, now mother of 2 and still struggling with modifying my cooking life. I thought I left all those comfort foods (read: over eating!) behind, but now I see why they are so popular: they're EASY. Sigh. <br /> <br />But now that my kids are 6 and 8, they're out exploring foods with me. Yeah! This is an adjustment I'm eager to make with them. <br /> <br />Now, I'm back to scouring recipes for pleasure and experiences ... to share with kiddoes, this time.</p>
<p>UPDATE: Well, the kids are growing up, and I have one with a sophisticated palate (hardly eats junk food) and another with a less than sophisticated palate (will eat good foods, but loves junk food, too). They're 12 and 14 now.</p>
<p>AND -- I've entered a new food services career: craft services for the food industry. BOY, is that challenging. I want to be FABULOUS, but must be so in the face of challenging conditions. And so I scour the recipes again, in search of 1) portable 2) easy 3) attractive and 4) general appeal appetizers. Seasonal, too.</p>
