July 25, 2025 Amanda Plott

If you think cowboy casseroles are just full of cream, cheese, and guilt, think again! This Cowboy Cornbread Casserole is here to lasso up those traditional flavors but with a healthy, guilt-free spin that’ll have your taste buds doing a happy two-step.

Jalapeno Cheddar Bacon Cornmeal Waffles

December 7, 2022 Amanda Plott

Coming in HOT today with these Jalapeño Cheddar Bacon Cornmeal Waffles. Get it. Hot. Jalapeños. These waffles are savory and loosely based on the cornmeal ones that I’ve done before, the only difference being that these here are loaded up with 2 cups of goodies! Bacon, jalapeños, and cheddar - oh my!

Since these waffles are savory instead of sweet, they can be for breakfast, brunch, lunch, or even dinner! I decided to have mine for breakfast and paired them with some cooked eggs and plenty of more hot sauce to go along with the spicy syrup…

Chili Cheese Cornbread Casserole

April 16, 2022 Amanda Plott

It’s no secret that I tend to make up a batch of chili and then store the leftovers in the freezer to be used at another time. Chili is perfect for the purposes of reuse. It’s versatile and goes on anything from hotdogs to enchiladas and so much more. This time around I decided to use it up in a new casserole. One that has both the chili AND the cornbread baked together into a delicious all inclusive dish.

This casserole starts out with a simple cornbread on the bottom that’s pretty much baked through before you pile the chili on top along with cheese and bake it for a little longer. The cornbread soaks up some of the liquid of the chili and gives you this tasty casserole that’s more spoon friendly than anything else…

Black-Eyed Peas & Cornbread Dumplings

January 3, 2021 Amanda Plott

So, the year has already started off a little rough for me, but at least the food is good. This Black-Eyed Peas & Cornbread Dumplings is as comfort food as it gets, and is truly one of the most tasty and delicious ways that I’ve ever gotten to eat black-eyed peas.

I used fresh black-eyed peas here because they cook fast and are perfect for this seasonal dish. That being said, canned ones or home-cooked would work too. I also used a vegetarian sausage because I have one in my house that doesn’t like traditional sausage for reasons. But any kind of sausage, pork, beef, or vegetarian will be just as good here!…

Instant Pot Cornbread

I’ve done a LOT of things in my pressure cooker, but I have yet to bake anything in it. Oh, you didn’t know that baking in the Instant Pot is totally a thing? Yeah, I didn’t really either. Now, I’ve gone as far as cheesecake before, which in my mind makes at least a little sense considering when you make a cheesecake in the oven you usually use a water bath to keep the cheesecake moist. Bread though?

As it turns out, making cornbread in the pressure cooker works out REALLY well. In fact, I may never make cornbread any other way again. Yep, that’s how easy and tasty it was. Plus, cooking it this way means you get to lighten it up!…
