Recipe Wednesday - Easy & Healthy Cornbread

This time of the year I am not beyond looking for a quick, easy recipe to whip up and throw into the oven just to take the chill out of the house.  Whether you're fixing to sit down to crock pot stew, chicken soup or even the old stand by of spaghetti, corn bread fits the bill.  This recipe from allrecipes.com is a winner.  Lots of great reviews about the texture, taste and variations, this cornbread scored high marks even for breakfast as johnny cakes.  Quick, easy and a good food choice, I'm all in.
