Delicious Cornbread
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Being a fan of jalapeno cornbread using corn, I thought this would be a tasty variation using broccoli. I followed the... recipe with only a few modifications, and it was wonderful. Since I used salted butter, I used only 1 tsp. of salt, added 2 chopped jalapenos for a little kick, and mixed the veggies into the batter before pouring the mixture into a greased 9 x 13 pan. It makes a lot, so I've got leftovers to serve with slow cooker black eyed peas for New Year's! Yum!Read more

My New "Go-To" Cornbread Recipe!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This recipe came out so good! It was very moist and delicious. The only thing I didn't like about it was the soggy veggies... on bottom. Next time, I will mix the veggies into the batter before baking it. Thanks Neelys' for another great recipe!Read more

Good stuff, although....
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I followed the recipe except for the 1 tbsp. of salt because it seemed like a lot. Instead I only used 1/2 tsp. (I'm cutting... back on my sodium intake). Lo and behold, 10 minutes after I put the cornbread in the oven I realized I forgot to add the cottage cheese! At first I was disappointed and not sure if it was going to be good but, since I'm also cutting back on dairy and cholestorol, I thought it would be ok. It was more than ok...it was good. I can see many variations on this. Next time I will try to make it "lighter" by using a "healthier" margarine instead of butter, trying a lighter cheese like mozarella or fat free cottage cheese and, use less eggs or maybe just one egg and a couple of egg whites! Thanks much!! Read more

The Best Cornbread I Ever Ate
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Generally I don't use recipes because I hate following directions but after being home all summer and then having my... maternity leave extend that time off I decided to give it a whirl. This was the first of three recipes I tried and wow!!!! The recipe was easy to follow even though I had to mix my own cornbread batter because I was short a package of mix. When I took it out of the oven it was soo beautiful I took pictures of it and sent it to my family and friends. I was very proud of how it looked. My mom tasted it and fell in love with it - she is hard to please because she is a picky eater. My husband actually said that he liked the cornbread.... out loud. He even said "mmmm!!!" This was exciting because this man has never eaten my cornbread in the whole 6 years we have been together and I am a fabulous cook, trained by my mom in the way of the Mississippi Delta! He ate all of the bread on his plate!! I will make this cornbread for my family every chance I get. My 8 year old said he liked it but I know he needs to eat it a few more times. Both my guys are not good with change but they took to this one pretty good. Thanks to the recipe maker (s)!Read more

Deeelish! And mix in the broccoli mixture
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this the first time following the recipe, as is, on the website except I used less salt because I thought a whole... tablespoon a bit much. Wrong! It really does need the salt. The next time I made it I used more salt but not a whole tablespoon because I use salted butter. When I saw that show again, the Neelys cooked the garlic w/the onions which is how I thought it should be done. I only used 2 eggs though and folded the broccoli mixture into the batter after pooring into pan because I did not like the soggy veggies on the bottom. My cornbread came out moist and delicious (and my sister's dog who loves cheese stole a piece off of the table and woofed it down!). I love every aspect of Down Home with the Neelys and hope it stays on for a very long time!Read more
