Cheesy Jalapeno Cornbread

 What's more comfort than corn bread.  Okay, maybe chocolate but that's another post.  Corn bread is always yummy.  But it seems that not too many place serve it anymore.  Marie Calendar's has a pretty yummy cornbread but their food is so bad that I pretty much never go there.  But since I like my food with a little kick jalapenos had to be added.

This corn bread was delicious.  I think the only thing I would change would be to bake it with a little less time.  maybe 20-25 minutes next time.  Other than that this recipe is a keeper.  I love that actual pieces of corn.  It goes the cornbread some grown up texture.  This would be wonderful served with some chili. 

Enjoy!
