The other day I hankerin’ for cornbread. (Did I just say hankerin’…?) The fact that I felt like cornbread is pretty weird considering I’ve eaten it about twice in my life, and the most recent time was several years ago. I told my mom, and she was down. I searched for a few recipes, looking for one that might use a healthier flour than white flour, and I settled on Heidi’s recipe for ‘Firecracker Cornbread’. I didn’t change too much in her recipe, but I baked the bread in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet, and it took about half the time. I topped it with butter and drizzled it with plenty of honey and my mom and I both enjoyed it. I really liked that it had fresh corn in it, and I loved the subtle spicyness from the red pepper flakes.
Also, please check out my latest Examiner article. It’s a review on this really great asian vegetarian restaurant in Vancouver called Whole Vegetarian Restaurant. My mom and I went for lunch and we ordered so much food that they moved us to a bigger table LOL. It was delicious, though. Unfortunately I was an extremely bad food blogger and didn’t have my camera on me!! Talk about unprepared….I guess you’ll just have to trust me on this one 
Mmmm. I wish I could eat this right now!
I haven’t been to Whole Vegetarian Restaurant. I will definitely be going now!
Cornbread is something I love but for some reason never make, so I guess I’m almost the opposite of you hehe. This looks fabulous and I really like the fresh corn, too. Heading over to check out your review now.
Oh! Would love to try this spicy cornbread…and will sure top with lots of honey
Haha! Love that they moved you to another table to make room for all the food! Classic! That cornbread looks great! I had never thought of cooking it in a skillet, but a shorter baking time would be so convenient!
I ADORE cornbread. I rarely eat it, but I love it.
Perfect on the side with a big bowl of chili
Thanks for sharing…my son loves anything with chili…the hotter..the better.
Your corn bread looks extremely tasty, Koko!
