“Honey I’m Home” Cornbread
Growing up in the south, my mom made cornbread on a regular basis. I never was a fan of cornbread, especially corn bread and milk; which my brother still loves! Yuck! I don’t drink milk so that could be the problem and more often when I would try cornbread it would be dry or tasteless. So after having children and making chili that is way too spicy for a two year old, I decided to make cornbread that not only my children loved but me too! I am not kidding when I tell you it can be the most moist and delicious healthy version of cornbread you’ve ever had.

How dark should your bedroom be?
I’ve always been one of those people that are light and sound sensitive. I am easily stimulated by noise and light and can lie awake if there is a beam of light piercing through a blind or curtain. But is it just me? I keep an eye mask by my bed for early morning and have put black out curtains not only in my room but my children’s as well.
