Cornbread in a Jiffy

I love bread.

I especially love homemade bread.

In all actuality, I love about anything with the word "bread" in it!

Serious!

When it comes to cornbread, there are two types of people.

Those who like plain 'ol cornbread (meaning no sugar) and those who like sweet cornbread.

I like sweet cornbread.

I'm the person who adds sugar to the jiffy cornbread mix.

The difference between my cornbread and a cake: my cornbread doesn't have icing!

A friend of mine, who originally hales from Alabama, makes a great cake-like cornbread.

But it's "her" recipe -- so I never felt right putting it on the site for millions . . .or maybe more . . . ok, maybe like 10 people to read!

Then, I was reading a cookbook, because they're like novels to me, and I saw "her" cornbread recipe; but it was not submitted by "her."

So now, I don't feel like I'm revealing her kitchen secrets . . . because I am . . .but I'm really not; it's a recipe that is currently in print . . . in a real cookbook!

So here's to my "Auntie Ronda's" cornbread that's officially been published -- she just doesn't know it yet.

Well, she does now, because she reads this -- but I'm still calling it "her" cornbread, even though other's know about it!

"Her" Cornbread

1 box jiffy cornbread mix
1 box jiffy cake mix, either white or yellow (who cares!)
2 eggs
1/3 cup PLUS 1/2 cup milk

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Put all ingredients in a bowl and mix well.

Grease a 9 X 13 pan and pour batter into pan.

Bake 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown on top and center is set.

Enjoy "her" cornbread!

Charleston's Style Potato Soup

Love Charleston's! Love everything I ever eat at Charleston's. Love the blackened fish sandwich, which isn't listed on the menu but you can still order it, with glazed carrots. Love the carrots! Love the chicken fingers; the best there are! I rarely order them -- because it's not a healthy choice, but oh boy! They're delish! Love the honey glazed croissant. L.O.V.E! Love the pork chops with smashed potatoes and glazed carrots. Love the potato soup! Seriously adore it! It's thick. It's simple. It's delicious! We don't have a Charleston's where we live. Boo hoo! Here's a close replica of Charleston's baked potato soup. I found it at www.tastebook.com I made some adjustments to the recipe. Not because I think I "know," but because I didn't have everything on hand nor can my sweet girl cherub have some of the ingredients. I made it and didn't tell my family what it was su...

Neiman Marcus' Chicken Tortilla Soup

I've been to eat at Neiman Marcus one time. It was really good! "Everyone" talks about the Neiman Marcus cafe and the things they love from there. Because I've only been once, my variety of selection is limited! However, I have had lunch with friends that serve this Neiman Marcus soup recipe.

Mixed Nut Butter

I've been making almond butter for the Mr. some time now. I used to make it in my (very) old food processor. Matter of fact, my dad bought the food processor for me before I ever got married . . . from a garage sale! So I know it's at least 20 years old, but probably older! I bet when my dad did that he had no idea I'd still be using it! That's money well spent, huh? Recently, thought, the Mr. saw a "suggestion" to make mixed nut butter. There you go; enough said! I've already made him two different kinds recently. Regardless of your preference, I don't think you can go wrong! The first I made was a combination of walnut and pecan Now, I've made a mix of cashew and walnut Next will be pecan and almond I think. It's so easy. Follow the general directions from the post about making almond butter: http://karen-proverbs31.blogspot.com/2012/01/almond-butter.html There's a bit of difference, but on...
