I read a lot of food blogs, and therefore I see a lot of recipes I would love to try<\/del> see appear in front of me immediately. Sometimes it’s just eye candy, or I pin it to one of my Pinterest boards and maybe make it eventually. But sometimes I just can’t get a new recipe out of my head, and I clear a spot in my weekly meal plan and make it ASAP!<\/p>\n

When I saw this cornbread from Macheesmo<\/a>, I thought it sounded delicious, but a little complicated (it involves roasting ears of fresh corn and pureeing the kernels). But then I couldn’t stop thinking about it. So I made it happen.<\/p>\n

\"fresh<\/a><\/p>\n

And y’all…this is seriously\u00a0good cornbread. I typically\u00a0like my cornbread on the sweeter\/Yankee-er side, so I’ve never made it with no sugar or honey or SOMEthing. I couldn’t believe how sweet and moist the pureed corn made this bread, without any sugar! Jay deemed it the best cornbread I’ve ever made (and I try a new recipe every time I make it). Don’t you kind of love\/hate it when a recipe requires some extra work, but it’s totally worth it??<\/p>\n

We were having veggie plates for dinner – baked sweet potatoes<\/a>, the Pioneer Woman’s green beans<\/a>, and mashed cauliflower. All good stuff, but I was much more excited about dinner with a side of cornbread! Plus, the corn roasts and the cornbread bakes at the same temperature as the sweet potatoes, and I got to use my food processor twice (thereby\u00a0justifying its bulky presence in the dishwasher) and so it was all pretty much meant to be.<\/p>\n

\"inside<\/a>Best part: this half is in the freezer for next week’s meatless veggie plate meal!<\/em><\/p>\n

Oh: I skipped the chili powder and even though I used sharp cheddar cheese, we couldn’t taste the cheese much, so I’ll be experimenting with skipping it. We loved the cornbread with a drizzle of honey! Be sure to check out the cornbread recipe at Macheesmo<\/a>!<\/p>\n
