Secret Family Recipes: Granny's KornBread
With Easter just around the corner we thought it would be fun to share some family recipes with you. Cornbread has always been a favourite of mine. Always present at family occasions such as Christmas dinner, Mother’s Day, and of course Easter Sunday. My Grandmother taught me this recipe when I was little, to this day, when ever I make it I think of her in the kitchen cooking, and all of us cousins playing and having fun. Cooking cornbread reminds me of home, and I’d like to share my home with all of you for Easter!
Happy Easter,
