Sweet Yellow Cornbread

Ok.  So I can't leave you hanging with the cornbread recipe.

The turkey chili needs it... like the Giants are going to need some serious 'rooting' this Sunday night when they play Indianapolis.

You promised, remember?  I'd give you the cornbread and you'd wish for my team to make it to the Superbowl.

But the season just started so we're gonna have to take this one game at a time. 

Manning vs Manning, how utterly exciting!

C'mon.  Your chili told me it was lonely....

Chili & Cornbread. 

Manning & Manning.

Mr. V is a Dolphins fan (I married him anyway) but he was reading an article with this pic from the last time Indy played NY & noticed the brothers have the SAME look on their faces!  

Gonna be a crazy game.

At least I know which Manning you'll be cheering for.

Anyhoo... this cornbread recipe is actually from the back of the cornmeal package.

I'll (sadly) admit that I used to make the Jiffy brand out of the box for convenience sake - but I started noticing it had a strange aftertaste.  Not to mention it probably has hydrogenated oils and all that bad stuff you're not supposed to eat.

The one thing I do like about the Jiffy cornbread is that it's sweet.  Like cake.

Mmmm.  Cake with dinner.

So I used Indian Head's suggestions for making their original recipe moister and sweeter.

Slightly more work for a cornbread that's waaaay better than anything out of a box!
