Broccoli Cornbread
In the last video I posted you saw some clips that I took at the Potter/Presswood family reunion. Someone brought some broccoli cornbread to the reunion and it was really, really good. I did not get the chance to get the recipe from anyone at the reunion but I found one online and thought I’d give it a shot.

It turned out really well and I think it’s absolutely the best cornbread I’ve ever made. The cornbread is basic cornbread but with cottage cheese and broccoli in it. It’s really good and it’s really moist.
The recipe I used is available on AllRecipes.com or if you’ll click here I’ve got it on full entry for this post (the permalink) so in case the recipe gets removed from that site it should still be here.

That looked REALLY good. I like my cornbread salty, not sweet, so I would not add as much sugar as you. But it looks damn good. And cottage cheese is a new twist. Interesting.
As always, edited very well.

Never heard of broccoli cornbread before. Looks tasty, though. I like that cover that goes over the burners on your stove. Could use something like that around here.

Shawno - It is really, very tasty. Some of the best cornbread I’ve ever made. Actually, that’s how the stove is made.
