Is there a more perfect side for a big bowl of chili than Classic Cornbread? I think not! Making it from scratch is super simple, and the taste is amazing!

Cornbread is a family favorite at our house, no matter how I serve it up.  All the kids eat it and that right there is a miracle.  I prefer to make my own cornbread from scratch vs. buying the premixed packages, it really is simple and takes maybe 1 or 2 more minutes than opening a package.

Classic Cornbread is a fun bread to put on the table. It’s not your classic roll and it is actually it’s own side dish – I love it! I don’t know about you, but cornbread on the table really adds to the nights when I have a pot of chili on the table – that may be my favorite combination. BUT I love it with chicken too – I don’t know we can eat it for anything (cornbread for breakfast with amazing jam is so great).

I don’t know about you guys, but if I have a great recipe to make from scratch I love to use it. Especially when you figure out that it’s not THAT much more work than opening a box. Classic Cornbread is one of those recipes that you can make from scratch and have that delish home made flavor, but not spend all day in the kitchen. LOVE IT – it’s the perfect recipe!!!

Want a few other ideas to have that home made bread taste without spending 8 hours in the kitchen? I have you covered!

  4. […] It is officially summer here in Texas. And summer means BBQ! Except, I live in an apartment now with no balcony/patio… so my ability to BBQ is limited to the BBQ pits by the community pool. I can’t get down there very often so I have to come up with ways to have my BBQ without having to leave my apartment. My crockpot comes to my rescue every time! This recipe is so easy and so so so delicious. I originally made it with a 3 lb bone in pork roast and by the time it was done it was so good I was kicking myself for not making a bigger roast! So the recipe here reflects that :). I served this pulled pork with a delicious homemade Balsamic (Paleo) BBQ Sauce and it was such a delicious combination I could (and did…) eat it for breakfast! 🙂 Don’t forget to serve it up with some fresh cornbread!
