GARDEN VEGETABLE CORNBREAD

Garden Vegetable Cornbread image

When I was a kid, my parents would make cornbread for my siblings and me. We would slather butter and maple syrup over the warm bread-it was delicious. Today I experiment a lot with recipes, just as my grandma and mom did, and that's how my version of their easy cornbread recipe was born! -Kim Moyes, Kenosha, Wisconsin
