Our Grandma always used to have this terrific, dense bread at Easter that was braided and always (ALWAYS) had jelly bean eggs decorating it. All the grandkids used to ohhh and ahhh when it was presented and we'd all secretly plot to get the most beans on one slice of bread.
A lot of my memories revolve around food and family. Meals spent at the table (or kids table - remember those??) talking and laughing and enjoy the moment that it takes to eat a meal that's cooked for days! I want our kids to remember the times like that and the joy on everyone's faces.
I wanted to recreate that bread (and the wonder, for the kids) and came across this recipe (with pictures - who can resist pictures) and thought that I would give it a try!
Well, it's still pretty cold out these days and nothing tastes better on a cold night than a steaming hot bowl of chili. Or beer. Or both. But what can get ANY better than some really great corn bread to round out the mix??
I found this recipe at All Recipes and if you're really looking for a good recipe for ANYTHING, this is a great site!! Anything you dream can be found here, with photos of the final produce (love that) and each recipe is rated by the users, so you always know what's good! Check it out!
So, here's a fool proof corn bread recipe that I tried once, and have never looked back with. It's perfectly sweet, crunchy and heck - a big old blob of butter on it really is like the icing on the cake!!
