Cornbread

This is a recipe I got from my friend Mary Jones whose life mirrors mine so closely it freaks me out. Her husband is Jeff (who grew up in Kennewick too) and her first 3 kids are Annalisa, Kyle and Kaitlyn. Seriously. We met them when we moved to Ammon (after all kids had been born). We both LOVE tennis and volleyball. Things start to separate from there. She had 3 more kids, and is probably one of the kindest, most righteous (without being self-righteous) people on earth. She's a great gal and a fantastic cook.

Apparently I can't make anything without a full cup of sugar and a cube of butter. Unfortunately, nobody in my family loves cornbread except me, so I don't make this often. It sure is yummy though. Great with her easy taco soup recipe that I'll post too. How's that for a super-long introduction?

Beat:
2 eggs
1 cup milk
1 cube melted butter

Add:
2 cups Bisquick (I like Pioneer Brand Buttermilk Biscuit and Baking Mix)
2 heaping Tbsp cornmeal
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 cup sugar

Bake in 9x13 pan at 350 for 20-25 minutes.

I loved your introduction Mary. That's pretty crazy about your friend Mary being the same as you in so many ways... especially their kids names.

I made this cornbread for dinner tonight and it is by far my favorite ever. I halved the recipe.

I love this cornbread. I'm not sure how healthy it is but who cares, it was fabulous. I think I ate 90% of the pan. That's crazy that you have a friend who mirrors you. I wonder if there is anyone like me?
