Cornbread

Whenever I leave on a business trip my wife bakes up a mean batch of cornbread to keep me sated and thinking of home while away. The cornbread, individually wrapped in saran wrap, makes a great on-the-go snack or meal replacement while waiting at airports or when arriving at a hotel after the restaurant has closed. Her recipe is one of the more healthy cornbread recipes, with a lighter, fluffier result, and is so easy to make that I whipped up batches on my own from time to time.

The ingredients for this delicious cornbread are as follows:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup yellow cornmeal
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup plain nonfat yogurt
• 2 large eggs
• a pinch of baking soda

(For a less healthy, heavier batch of cornbread, use regular yogurt instead of the nonfat kind.)

Once you've got all of your ingredients, simply mix them together and then pour into a glass pan. Bake at 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes and then set out to cool. If you're making the cornbread to comfort your significant other while they're away, after the cornbread cools cut it into 2"x2" squares, wrap in saran wrap, place in a brown paper bag, and put it in your spouse's suitcase. :-)

Enjoy!
