Golden Sweet Cornbread
This cornbread recipe is made from scratch with no mix. It's a real treat with chili, ribs, or barbecued chicken. You could even use this sweet, homemade cornbread to make stuffing for your Thanksgiving feast! My mom made this for me as a child, and now it's my family's favorite. Serve with butter, jam, honey, or your favorite spread.
Buffalo Chicken Bites
These Buffalo chicken bites are always in demand at any football get-together. You can make the bites and use any type of sauce you want. Personally, I like to take a quarter cup of barbecue sauce and a quarter cup of hot sauce and mix it together.

Spread made with blueberries and cooking apples, such as Gala or Granny Smith.
