Hello Friends! I am loving that spring has sprung! This week, we enjoyed a couple of meals al fresco and even made it down to the beach. I love visiting the beach this time of year because the summer crowds have not yet arrived, so it is a little quieter and calmer. I could just spend hours watching the waves and the sailboats go by. I look forward to many more picnics at the beach in the coming weeks.

Speaking of the outdoors, this easy cake-like homestyle cornbread recipe is perfect for outdoor barbecues and picnics at the beach. It is also perfect side dish for homemade chili and as a lunch box treat. It packs well and is just slightly sweet and goes perfectly with a little scoop of creamy honey butter.

If you are wanting to know how to make cornmeal in a cast iron skillet, this recipe works well as written as long as you use a heavy cast iron skillet that is 9″ or 10″ in diameter, like this one.

Plus there is nothing like baking from scratch!
