Mexican Cornbread

Hello! In the kitchen with Sharon this week is Mexican cornbread. I make a lot of soups in the fall and winter and this will top off anyone’s meal. I’m always thinking about what to have with my soups. Normally, I have a peanut butter sandwich with my chili or grilled cheese with my tomato soup. I love this recipe. My good friend Patricia Nichols sent it to me. It will be perfect with chili or a pot of beans.

Please send me your favorite recipe, along with a story and/or a picture of it if you have one, and I will put you in the kitchen with Sharon. Send them to [email protected] or call me at 937-393-3456.

Remember to do something nice for someone this week. Have a great week!
