Cook the Book: The Cornbread Gospels

Embarrassingly, I really like the Kraft honey cornbread mix. But the recipe in the Cook's Illustrated Best Recipes cookbook is only a little more work, and is amazing.

Cook the Book: 'Arthur Schwartz's Jewish Home Cooking'

matzo ball soup (at least, good versions. I've had some where the matzo was super dense and way undercooked, which was definitely not tasty)

Cook the Book: 'Roast Chicken and Other Stories'

My fathers family had a chicken farm when he was growing up. He's told me many times about the time he collected a bunch of eggs, injected colored dye into them, and when they hatched he had a bunch of different colored chicks. Of course, they lost the coloring as soon as they molted.

Cook the Book: Milk Chocolate with Burnt Caramel Drink

Even though it's a bit time consuming, the caramel chocolate cheesecake from Smitten Kitchen is amazing. It was the only dessert at thanksgiving that didn't have any left over at the end of the night.

Cook the Book: Chocolate Sablés

chocolate caramel cheesecake from Smitten Kitchen. I had trouble with the caramel due to lack of experience, but the cheesecake was absolutely amazing. It was also fun to grind up a box of chocolate teddy grahams.

Cook the Book: The Cornbread Gospels

I have to admit, mine is the best I've eaten. I just use a yellow cornbread mix (usually Martha White), add Pace's Picante Sauce, grated cheddar cheese and whole kernal corn. Extra cheese goes on top. Yuuummmy! For restaurant cornbread, it has to be Mama's Daughter's Diner in Lewisville, Texas.

I had the most amazing cornbread at Marie Callendar's restaurant in Oklahoma City.

Jiffy Mix made in a preheated cast iron skillet, greased with some bacon drippings. I love the crusty brown portion! Gotta eat it with real BUTTER! Thanks for the opportunity to participate in this giveaway!

My favorite cornbread was my mother's. She started it in a cast iron skillet over a flame then finished it in the oven. Sometimes she added cracklins. Awesome!
