I’m from the south and all the ladies in my family are from the south so cornbread will always be apart of my menu! If we need a side bread for dinner it will more often than not be a piece of cornbread! 

I grew up eating jiffy which was routinely fixed up with sour cream, tons of butter, and sugar. As an adult I started making cornbread from scratch which when done correctly, is divine! 

Cornbread doesn’t have to be boring you can prepare it many ways! I like my cornbread sweet but I like it salty too! You can make it in a skillet  , add onions and peppers, eat it super sweet, or as a muffin!

One of my all time favorite recipe is my sweet corn buttermilk pound cake, it’s like cornbread and buttermilk pound cake eloped!

This sweet potato cornbread recipe is sweet but not pound cake sweet, it’s still mellow enough to enjoy right next to some fried chicken and sautéed greens!

I added a sweet potato for even more depth and southern goodness.

Sweet potato+cornbread….it really can’t get any better than that.

*Quick Update…I accidentally put 3/4 cups sugar when it should be 2/3 cups of sugar.
