Fantastic Buttermilk Cornbread

I have never considered myself a big cornbread fan until I came across this recipe. The cornbread was so moist, sweet and buttery! I love to add this tasty side to a nice home-cooked meal or BBQ. I highly suggest you try this recipe and let me know what you think! ; )

Ingredients that you will need:

1/4 pound butter
2/3 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup cornmeal
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions

1.) Preheat oven to 375 degrees and grease an 8 inch square or round pan.

2.) Melt you butter in large skillet and then remove from heat. Add and stir in your sugar. Quickly add your eggs and beat them until everything is well blended.
3.) Combine your buttermilk with your baking soda in a separate bowl and then stir them into your mixture in your large skillet.
4.) Stir in your cornmeal, flour, and salt until they are well blended and only a few lumps remain. Then, pour your batter into the greased pan.
5.) Bake in your preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean!

Considering a Furry Companion?

One of the things that I hold near and dear to my heart are animals. There are so many animals that need loving homes, so I encourage you to consider adopting a pet from your local animal shelter before you go out to a pet store and buy one. Most of the cute little puppies you see for sale at the pet stores come from puppy mills where the animals live under dire conditions.

As much as I love animals and would like to add more to my family, I know that I am not in the place in life to adopt a pet. It wouldn't be fair to them to be all alone in the house since I am gone at work or at school for the majority of the day. I do have a small fish tank with 3 tiny Tetras and an African Dwarf frog, but that is easy for me to take care of because my little ones are relatively low maintenance.

There are many people who get pets and realize after that they are unable to care for them. So, I encourage you to stop and think about the following things before you decide to go out and adopt an animal:

1.) Do I have the funds to provide my new animal with a comfortable life?
2.) Do I physically have time to have an animal?
3.) Am I living a stable lifestyle?

Bonjour !

I just would like to take a moment to introduce myself and my blog! I find myself stumbling upon many different blogs and web sites that I just love and I would love for people to have easy access to the same things that I enjoy reading about.

I have many different hobbies and passions, including animals, fashion, cooking, travel, art, science and healthy living. I hope you find my future tutorials and advise helpful! : )

Even though I am young, I have a lot of experience in many different avenues so I hope that my 2 cents will be of some help and/or insight.
