Person talking
Fats Waller was an American jazz pianist, organist, composer and comedic entertainer. Many songs he wrote or co-wrote are still popular, such as "Honeysuckle Rose", "Ain't Misbehavin'" and "Squeeze Me". 'He was known as the soul of melody....a man who made the piano sing...both big in body and in mind...known for his generosity...a bubbling bundle of joy'. Well, if he were still around, he'd write a song about this cornbread! Adpapted from The New Basics Cookbook.

This is definately cornbread worth singing about! I picked up some blue organic cornmeal to make this with, and baked it in a cast iron pan, as recommended. I stuck to one jalapeno today, and it added the perfect zip! I loved the colours in this, the blue, yellow, and green. Thanks, Sharon! Made for our wonderful VIP in Veggie Swap #20!
