Kitchen Kudos – something new

Kitchen Kudos can be found in my sidebar. See it over there? No? Scroll down.
For the most part, my family loves my cooking. There was, however, a season of experimenting with low fat/no fat recipes when they were not my biggest fans! I repented and returned to the recipes of my upbringing. Truly, fat is funner!

Of course, I’m talking about the good fats. You know, avocado, olive oil, nuts & seedsthose fats. Although I do reserve bacon drippings for seasoning. Okay, I just busted myself with this picture. I’m frying catfish & hushpuppies. No good fats there!
Occasionally I have featured recipes in a blog post but I am going to try something new – (I’m copying Angela.) . I’m posting recipes in the sidebar. For a while. Until I tire. Which I may. Because I like change and the “new”.

Why Kitchen Kudos? The recipes in Kitchen Kudos are those my mother taught me or are from other sources I like. I rarely follow a recipe to the letter. I tweak a lot!

My mother, who taught me how to tweak, would be tickled to hear me say she taught me “recipes.” She didn’t teach recipes. She taught me how to cook. And tweak. She’s a master tweaker. Mistress of Tweak?

Oh! Why Kitchen Kudos? It features food I like to cook in my kitchen and kudos means fame and renown resulting from an act or achievement.

Well I am famous in my kitchen and renown for quick & tasty. And keepin it real, sometimes I am just famous for burning popcorn on the stove (2 nights ago). Nevertheless I enjoy the kudos from my kiddos & One Fine Man on my efforts in the kitchen. Today I give you the recipe for My Favorite Cornbread. Tomorrow? Who knows…maybe my favorite roast beef.

If it sizzles when you pour the batter in the skillet, you’ve got a winner!

And we have a winner! Moist on the inside, crispy around the edges!

Check out the recipe in the sidebar. Do you make cornbread like I do? Do you add sugar to yours?

    No one is giving me their kudos for my kitchen quisine. You will never see my side-bar filled with recipes. Alas, I love a good one to try, and this cornbread fits the bill! We love cornbread. I can’t tell you how many wonderful recipes I’ve gleaned in blog land over the past year! Thanks.

    I add sugar to my cornbread. Yummy! And, if I can remember the ingredients to a recipe, I never look at the paper again, ever. So I guess I am a fellow tweaker.

    Hey Mel,
    Have you ever tried adding a few extra ingredients and making Mexican Cornbread? My Dad was telling me about some he ate at a birthday party of one of his friends. I looked through my cookbooks but didn’t find a recipe. I’ll try google. Sounds yummy! Have you shared your Taco Soup recipe yet? That’s a good one.

    Another pondering thought about the leaves in your hair, your comment on the B log about another leaf. My azalea bloom was a double….2 blooms. Before the abundance of blooms comes, the pruning happens. Melanie, the Lord wants His Glory to shine MORE in your life. He is in the process of doing a new thing. Seasons are changing, even in FL.

    I want you to know i love cornbread i can’t make it to save my life…however some of my fondest memories are of sitting at my grandmom and greatgrandmoms tables having white (the nonsweet kind) cornbread in milk.

    Looks yummy. I like my cornbreak sweet and moist. (And baked by someone other than me!) LOL!

    Hi Melanie-
    I suppose you think that I have forgotten about you or that I didn’t notice your sweet comment on my blog several weeks ago. I did. Of course your name caught my eye, as I am sure mine did for you.

    Bella Della is in honor of my grandma- Della. The Bella part just sort of popped into my head one day and then I sort of fell into blogging by accident. A very happy accident.

    I am adding you to my blog list now and promise to come back and visit. Your blog looks fantastic.

    I hope you are having a wonderful Tuesday!

    Hugs,
    Kim

    YUM! I want to hop through the screen and eat up that cornbread!!! I don’t have one of those skillets. And, I’ve always made cornbread by Jiffy. I know, I know, that’s the easy way out. I’d really like to try this. I’ll start looking for a good iron skillet.
