This recipe was actually a mistake turned discovery. (I love those times)  Anyway, Grace was making a batch of cornbread for supper. But something wasn't right.  Little did she know...

It turned out far different than any cornbread we've ever had.  Light and fluffy, moist and sweet.  It tasted a little like biscuits, only lighter and sweeter.  The end result was that we loved it far better than cornbread so we make it all the time! 

Try it out sometime!

I have decided to do a recipe once a week, preferably something I or one of the family have tried before. ....Well, maybe I'll even add in some recipes that we haven't tried, but sound tasty and exciting to make.  Maybe we'll even find some interesting and unusual recipes!
