I am taking part in a Cookery Challenge this year I am going to try 52 new recipes, so it will work out at one each week. Since entering 2010 I have made
Fish Cakes
Lemon Meringe
Scotch Eggs (3 varieties)
Welsh Rarebit Muffins
and Cornbread!
There is no doubt about it, my enthusiasm has originated from The Hairy Bikers "Mum Knows Best" programme and Cookbook as I have been rambling on about for the past few weeks.
Last week it was the turn of Texas Cornbread. It was the very first time I had made this and as I was writing about it on Facebook, our good friend, the whirlwind of Lisa Askew replied telling me she was going to Texas the next day! As Lisa is such an amazing woman I told her I was going to dedicate my cornbread after her, so instead of Texas Cornbread it would be known as "The Amazing Lisa Askew Cornbread!" I was so glad I did this because when I tasted the cornbread I found it rather bland. Now Lisa is anything BUT bland so over the next few days I will be experimenting and refining the recipe so like Lisa it is spicy, fruity and lively!
Watch this space!
Good for you, Denise! I know how you're doing lots of egg dishes now, too, and I wanted to tell you that Lorne makes the BEST "sort of" fritatta/omelette...but only when it's a lazy weekend sort of day. I'll see you on the ABC..mines up now. :D
ReplyDeleteI must admit I have never tried cornbread.
ReplyDeleteI'll be interested to find out how you spice up the cornbread. Cornbread and Chili is such a yummy combination.
ReplyDeleteoo cornbread.. now there's an idea ;)
ReplyDeleteGood idea Mrs N. May i call you that? I love the recipe challenge. Post more about you and your life i am really interested. How is your duck? Do you have any pictures of the beach near you?
ReplyDeleteBest Regards,

Hmmmmm love cornbread! Fun post for the day and all your dishes sound delicious! Thanks for the fun meme and for your great team!

It all sounds delicious, though I've never tried Cornbread. Come over to my post for a curry.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the new, spicy cornbread.
ReplyDeleteI've made cornbread a few times - yours looks yummy!
ReplyDeleteNothing better than cornbread! Yours looks quite good!
ReplyDeleteI like cornbread and this looks very good!
ReplyDeleteThis looks good, but the scotch egg below has me mesmerized. Please email it in preheated 3D, if that's not too much to ask. It looks so perfect.
ReplyDeleteI tried making cornbread once, too, and I also found it bland. Maybe I should try again and experiment, but ... I don't much like to cook!
ReplyDeleteSeeing your photos, I can only think that you are a terrific cook! Cornbread sounds delicious and very wholesome.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your visit. Yes we learn a lot every Wednesday, thanks to you Mrsnesbitt! I shall try to cover all letters this time till the next round.
Cornbread is so good with so many different kinds of food. It's nummy!
ReplyDeleteCornbread has been one of those mysteries to me. It sounds too much like polenta. If you can make it tasty, I will give it a try. :)
ReplyDeleteI see you are still doing abc wed, havent done that for a while but was curious to see what you were up to! Cooking challenge, my challenge is finding someone to cook for me!
ReplyDeleteCornbread is OK, but those pies from a couple days ago; now THAT'D be REALLY worthwhile.
ReplyDeleteIt's almost 2am, and now I'm starving!
ReplyDeleteKisses from us.
You're a splendid COOK!
ReplyDeleteGood C and I get hungry;-)
ReplyDeleteHave a nice day!
I've just got The Hairy Bikers Book, on your recommendation Denise and it's so nostalgic.
ReplyDeleteI must confess, that I have cooked many of the recipes but there are many more to try, I rather fancy the cornbread, so will try to get the necessary ingredients.

The HB's Cornbread is on my 52 list too - as well as key lime pie. I missed the programme this week - was there anything good?
