It has been a busy week in the Wilson house. On Monday night I am pooped but happy! Friday night I made corn bread for the first time ever! I was way nervous because my husband has told me all of these great stories about his mom's and his grandma's cornbread, but I was up for the challange. Last week my daddy gave me a lesson on how to make cornbread the right way, so I set out to copy his recipe. My husband loved it and I was relieved! Daddy's go to recipe from the Better Homes and Gardens 1980something was a hit! I was a little impressed with myself !
Recipe: 1 cup flour (all purpose)
1 cup corn meal
2 tbsp Sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 Tsp salt
2 eggs
1 cup milk- I use 1/2 sweet milk and 1/2 butter milk
1/4 cup crisco melted.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees and pour melted crisco in a cast iron skillet. Put in the oven to heat. Mix dry ingredients first, then add in eggs one at a time. Pour in the milk and pour the hot grease from the pan into the cornbread batter. Mix well adn bake for 20 minutes and Thats All!
For my sweet friend Heather's baby shower I made two hats for her baby that is due in Feburary. I was able to view the patterns for free so I will post them here to share... later when I find the website again!
And finally Saturday night we threw my mother-in-law a birthday party at out house. It was a small gathering of family and some good food but she said it was the best party she had in a while! Before the baby shower Saturday morning I made her gift as well! I had picked up a cute rectangle frame from goodwill Friday while my mom and I were shopping. I got home to take it apart to make her gift and the painting had real butterflies pressed under the glass. I was totally grossed out! I threw all of the nastyness away and made her a chicken wire earing holder like all of those cute ones I have seen on pinterest. It was a busy weekend, but I'm greatful for all of the people I get to share my life with.
