This corn bread is a little on the sweet side. It's made with white cornmeal, but yellow works too. I learned to make it from my other mom (MIL). It is baked in a cast-iron skillet. Can be used to make stuffing or put leftovers in a cup with milk and put it in the fridge overnight for a comforting breakfast.

- 2 cups white cornmeal
- 0.75 cups all-purpose flour

Whisk cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Beat eggs in a separate bowl and stir buttermilk into eggs. Pour half (2 tablespoons) of vegetable oil from the hot skillet into buttermilk mixture, retaining remaining oil in skillet, and beat until oil is incorporated.

Microwave Apple Kugel
My grandmother made this dish for every family gathering. My Jewish grandfather insisted it tasted just like how his mother use to make it. Not only was it good as a side dish, but it's excellent as a morning treat or dessert.
Stuffed Chicken Cordon Bleu
My boyfriend hates chicken. That being said, all relationships have compromise and he loves the flavor combination of this cordon bleu dish. It's sure to be a favorite with the picky eaters in your life--especially those who don't like chicken. Serve with steamed rice and green vegetable of your choice.
Air Fryer Fresh-Caught Crappie
When spring is in the air, fried crappie is what all of the fishermen around here are talking about. This year I left the deep-fryer in the cabinet and used my air fryer for a healthier alternative. Serve with malt vinegar, tartar sauce, cocktail sauce, hot pepper sauce, or the condiments of your choice.
