Skillet Chile Cheese Cornbread
Baking partners challenge for this month is corn bread. When Swathi asked me to make and share this recipe, I thought it is a wonderful idea as it can be part of Thanksgiving menu . This is a southern style skillet cheese corn bread with a spicy kick and flavor of jalapenos. It turned out moist and flavorful. The recipe is adapted fromWeight Watchers Light and Easy Cookbook,Oxmoor house,1997 and from 1001 Great Recipes from around the World, Culinary Arts Institute, New York, 1981.
