If you’ve been reading the blog for a while, you might remember me mentioning that I have a very picky eater. My youngest child is now two and has basically four approved foods. If it isn’t a bread, cheese, fruit, or yogurt, she won’t touch it. In my quest to not live my life as a short order cook and still get dinner on the table that most of us will eat, I’ve started working hard on developing recipes that are totally kid friendly and adult approved. These Cheesy Turkey Apple Meatballs with Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce are perfect for picky kids and adults alike.
Jalapeño Cheddar Cornbread
I don’t think it’s any secret around here that I’m totally obsessed with soup. I would happily eat soup (or stew or chili) every day, no matter the season or weather. I make quick soups on weeknights, long simmering soups and stews on the weekend and chili whenever the temp dips below 30 degrees. Over the years, I’ve found many recipes that I make again and again. One of my favorites (and a winter staple in my house) is my Chipotle and Stout chili recipe (find it here!). During the fall and winter, it’s on the menu weekly. I love to serve soups and stews with a great bread. I have a great beer bread recipe as well as Lane’s fantastic Parker House Rolls for soup and stew, but what I really wanted was a go-to cornbread recipe. Having never really found a recipe that I was head over heels for, I decided to make my own. I spent some time in the kitchen this fall testing out a ton of variations. After much trial and error, I came up with this recipe for Jalapeño Cheddar Cornbread. I hope you love it as much as I do!…
