cornbread

I have always enjoyed cornbread. I love the texture and flavor of the corn meal, even better with plenty of honey butter to spread on top. I never made a cornbread until about two weeks ago. The Kitchenista (@MissAngelaDavis) posted a very straight forward and very delicious thread and recipe related to cornbread here. Since then I have made 3 of them!


Following her suggestion, I used various ingredients to mix-in to the cornbread to give it some different flavors.  Below is a bacon, scallion and Chihuahua cheese cornbread:

Yesterday, I decided to branch out.  I bought a container of fresh cubed pineapple from the store. Initially I got it to snack on, then I really craved pineapple upside-down cake. Then I thought why not pineapple upside-down cornbread? So here we are a pineapple upside-down cornbread:

It was delicious, you definitely get the pineapple but the bread is still very much savory. I had it with pulled pork and beans. I'm sure I will have many more ideas with this easy and tasty batter recipe.
