Cornbread

I'm a proud Southerner. I know how to make good cornbread from scratch. Do I like to? Nope. Do I want to? Nope. Can I make great cornbread from a box? Yep! There are some things that are totally worth making from scratch. For me, cornbread is not one of them. We rarely have cornbread and when we do I make a very small amount that is not worth getting out the cornmeal, flour, eggs, etc. If my family didn't know I make cornbread from a box, they wouldn't be able to tell by eating it. I'm not going to bore you by repeating the directions already on the box. But I will give you a big tip...add about 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract to the mixture before baking. It makes a huge difference and adds a little sweetness. Oh so good!
