What’s a cold winter night without cornbread?

My point exactly. You’ll probably need this tonight.

Seriously.

This cornbread is quite delicious and what makes it extra special is the dash of cinnamon and fresh basil; they add a perfectly sweet touch to each bite. My favorite way to serve this recipe is toasted with a drizzle of honey on top.  Or if you’re feeling extra special, you can top it with a scoop of almond milk ice cream.

How’s that for a winter dessert?

Mmmmm.

As I focus on my self love that I’ve been referring to the last few weeks, I wanted to leave you with a few thoughts to ponder and think about. We all deserve self love and it’s amazing how good it feels to treat your body like you would a little baby- because we give babies so much love, why not give ourselves that same kind of love?

No amount of self improvement can make up for any lack of self acceptance.

The more loving I become, the more significant I will be.

  2. If I want to cut out the corn (not corn meal, just the corn) from this recipe, what would I add/increase?
    Thanks!

    1. Thanks Cory; I haven’t tried cutting out the corn but if you want, you can add in any other veggie like maybe mushrooms or peas or spinach. Enjoy!!!

  3. Amie, do you know the nutritional info on this recipe? I know some can be very caloric, and I’m really trying very hard to eat healthy, and not eat all my days calories in one meal. Thanks

    1. Thanks Patricia; the nutritional info is on the bottom in the notes section of the recipe. Let me know if it’s not coming up on your computer as it’s a plug-in. Thank you!

  5. I have entered! I just discovered your blog and I love it already. I am going to try going gluten free and for Lent. I want to eat clean as much as possible. I too believe that going gluten free doesn’t mean having to buy a bunch of pre-packaged, processed gluten free products. I am excited to give it a try. Your recipes will make it easier and more delicious!

  6. I am so happy to have discovered your blog Amie, I was browsing the Bodum FB page and found out about the contest, but I gained much more! Thanks for sharing your yummi recipes! I have entered the contest too and keeping my finger crossed. Do you have suggestions for first solid food for babies?

    1. Thanks Monica; great to hear from you! I would try using green veggies and fruits in the food processor or blender to make a puree with the cooked veggies and fruits to get their palates tasting ‘real’ food.
      Enjoy!!
