Cheddar Cornbread Muffins

If you’re a bread-lover, you know how hard it is to eat a savory meal and pass up the corn bread or the biscuits. In the effort of trying not to eat too many carbs, I really try to limit how much bread I’m consuming.

I love finding recipes that taste “normal,” yet are lower in calories and fat. Enter the Cheddar Cornbread recipe!

Celebration Dinner

Our family loves to celebrate, and that is usually interpreted into the meal planning. If it’s someone who is being celebrated, they rightfully get to help select their favorites.”What should we have for dinner for Father’s Day?” was an important question I asked my husband last week. He landed on some old favorites, then I chose one new recipe, and one I hadn’t made in a while. The result was a sumptuous fare that celebrated him and the gift he is to our family.
