Mom’s Cornbread, nothing warms the soul like a big pot of homemade soup or chili and a hot skillet of cornbread straight from the oven.

I have tried many a cornbread in my lifetime, and all of them were good, but there is just nothing as good as mom’s cornbread. I’m not sure what she does to it but you can just taste the love.

And it’s always best when it’s fresh out of the oven, slathered with a pat of butter. I like to crumble some into my chili as well. Yum!

Here’s Mom’s Cornbread recipe. I’m not sure where it came from originally but it is my favorite. She also uses this cornbread in her cornbread dressing for thanksgiving.
