Conference weekend with Sweet Cornbread

This weekend was a little dreary so what better than to have a chili and Cornbread meal!! I thought it was the best idea ever!!!

I love LDS conference for several reasons. My favorite is the talks about faith. I love hearing about ways to strengthen my faith in our church and in the lord and so that someday it will become a strong conviction. I was impressed by the comment about a happy child is one who sings throughout the day. I love my children. They are such a joy in my life.

My other joy is baking. I am not very good at anything else, but I know that I can bake excellent desserts and other items to satisfy my enormous sweet tooth. I have always loved sweet cornbread and my favorite is the one I get at my local grocery store that they make from scratch  I discovered this one about a month ago and wrote it down after I tried and promptly forgot where I got it from, but it is sooo good!


It is sweet with a cake-like texture! Enjoy!
