Loved the taste and texture of this cornbread! Instead of making muffins or a loaf, I used it as a topping for a chili bake. I halved the recipe, and dropped spoonfuls of it on top of my chili in a 8" round casserole dish - my chili's a thick and chunky version, so the cornbread baked up very nicely on top. Baked for 40 minutes, until it was nicely browned. Even my husband, who is not a big cornbread fan, raved about the cornbread topping and went back for seconds. This is definitely a keeper!! And nobody would ever suspect it's gluten-free ;)

I am a Christian wife and mother of 2, stepmother to 3. I have cooked since I was very young and have fond memories of my Grandmother teaching me how to knead bread. Opening the cupboards and refrigerator to find 'there's nothing here to eat' is a challenge that I love - some of my best dishes were forged out of scarcity!
Recipes are guidelines for me, generally speaking. I almost always modify and experiment. My family loves my cooking and I love to cook for my family!
