Whole Wheat Corn Bread



Hey everyone! I am so so so SO sorry for my long absence. If you read my fitness blog you are probably aware that the past few weeks were insane for me! I then went on a cruise and am just now returning. Let me tell you- being a foodie makes going anywhere hard! On numerous occasions I would eat something on the cruise and think "Meh- I could make this tastier if I added xyz to this recipe!" I am dying to get back in my kitchen after this long break so get ready for some goodies!

I made this recipe a long time ago and really enjoyed it. It had a nice healthy taste and was quite satisfying. I will say that it wasn't very moist so I chose to eat it with butter or something to add some moisture to the corn bread. If you are looking for a way to have a BIG hunk of corn bread without eating a lot of calories this is a great choice.

  1. What a glorious day it is when someone points out that you have all the ingredients necessary to make cornbread right in your very own home. Thank you for that.
