I (and I alone since no one else in my family likes these!) really enjoyed these. I did reduce the cornmeal a little bit, but I enjoyed the flavor. Thanks for posting! -
Loved this recipe...used Tony's seasoning instead of plain salt. -
This recipe was exactly what I was looking for. I have one child allergic to egg so this was a nice no egg version. I had not made it with cornmeal before so I was hapily suprised with the added crunch it offers.. the kids loved it. Thanks. -
These are excellent!! I sprinkled sugar over precooked tomatoes and allowed them to sit for 10 min, I also added a few drops of tabasco and 2 eggs to the milk mixture. But my family loved them...

I am Married to the same guy for 40 years,I Have 2 beautiful Daughters, who have given me 6
grand and glorious grandchildren.
I love to cook,in fact you could call it my favorite hobby
My pet peeve is telemarketers,Every time I get busy with my recipe hobby one of them will call and knock me off the web,and of coarse I waste precious time getting back on.I am disabled,so I no longer work,and have plenty of time to pursue my hobby.
My best dish I make is Lasagna but thats just because I love lasagna.I am also asked to bring No-Bake cookies at all of our potlucks, and linger-longers at church.Meat loaf is another often requested dish I am asked to bring...... NOT MY meatloaf but .... My husbands.
He is as good a cook as I am,He can cook anything I can cook, and I can cook anything he can cook,but some things I make better,and some He makes better...So we do a lot of compromising at our house.
