Weirdest and Best Cornbread Ever!

[dremiel]

My absurd daily tweets of The Boy’s lunch led to a question about today’s cornbread. It’s a family favorite that dates back to my childhood and came from our neighbor’s mother-in-law. We callled it Cathy’s Cornbread. First here’s the recipe as written in 1969 and then some more reasonable variations. It sounds weird but it is SOOOO GOOOD

Oh lovely! I saw that in Sam's Lunch this morning. Mmmm.... For my vegan child, can the cottage cheese be replace with tofu, do you think?

I made this batch with creamed corn (which is just corn, btw no dairy) and it is EXCELLENT. I've never used vegan egg replacers but they should work; won't have the same lift so it'll be denser but still tasty.

OH OH OH then we would do that, yes.

OH YAY RECIPE. I looked at that and thought BROCCOLI CORNBREAD WHUT? And then went, WELL WHY NOT?!!

My Dad's family does a sweet(ish) cornbread that's then crumbled and eaten with bread and milk for breakfast.

The next soup up in the cookbook is tomato. I think broccoli cornbread would go great with that! :0)

I NEED A FOOD ICON!!

I LOVE tomato soup! Which cookbook are you using!

[valancy_joy]

just some tiny soup cookbook I picked up at Michael's Crafts a good while back. but the recipes look simple, and the ingredients mostly affordable, so I thought I'd give them a whirl!

(see, I haz a food icon now)

If you want another variation, use chopped jalapenos. We adore cornbread here. :D

[dremiel]

ABSOLUTELY!!!

Chipoltes in adobo are good, too. But maybe not with brocolli?

[sabriel75]

Eh... no we don't use broccoli but we do use spinach. :D

I wasn't going to mention the iron skillet thing...

Your restraint is noted. :)

I seem to remember that cornbread recipe. Is that dating myself?

[dremiel]

Probably dating BOTH of us, hon.
