It is Grandma’s Recipe and it is GOOD.
My trainer, he is something. He loves food, and gets excited when I bring him lemon cupcakes, his favorite. I sometimes wonder how he enjoys his desserts and competes in body building competitions. Well he does believe in moderation and asks me to enjoy everything.
We have a mutual love for food. And yes, we do talk about food every once in a while when training. Hey, when I am working my shoulders, the thought of a good bread afterwards is the only thing which makes me finish my sets.
He kept bragging about his grandma’s cornbread and I kept bothering him to pass the recipe to me. He did, and I am so thankful to him and his grandma.
Made a couple of adjustments, cut down on butter a tad bit and left the sour cream, but it is so good.
It’s moist, has a crunch from the fresh corn, slight spice from the jalapenos and a light onion flavor from the chives. It is so so good as a side.

What gorgeous pictures. I like this version, i’ll give it a try, without the eggs. I somehow cannot get the idea of egg in this. cake, yes. Savory breads, muffins, umm- no.
Asha I love cooking in akillet, and this cornbread look amazing!!!xo
I want to make something just like this! I have so much polenta in my fridge-two bags of it that I need to use it 🙂
What a beautiful cornbread! Certainly, one of the prettiest I’ve ever seen so far! Perfect for colder weather and the holidays!
Love how you used two kinds of cornmeal and jalapenos – I love a little spice!
Delicious Cornbread. I haven’t got any success in the cornbread love the spicy version.
Wow the skillet bread looks delicious and the spicy kick.. :-)Really looks pretty in the skillet Ash. Loved the pics!
This is my hubby’s kinda food! He’s a Southern boy 🙂 Loving this jalapeño cornbread and I love my cornbread with fresh corn kernels too. Super delicious. Just need a bowl of chilli and we’re set!
The cornbread looks scrumptious. Thanks for sharing this great recipe.
A trainer who loves food, loves to talk about food and eat food, is my kind of trainer! Plus, what a great recipe. Looks delicious. I was just having some chili the other night wishing I had some good cornbread with it.
This looks so wonderful, I think I could be happy with just it by itself, Ash!
Maybe I’m your grandma! That’s exactly how I make it too. GREG
I love a good piece of cornbread and yours looks and sounds delicious.
Cooking cornbread in a skillet is the way to go! I love the addition of jalapenos and chives. This gal loves a little heat in her food. Pinned. Thanks so much for sharing, Ash!
So funny to imagine that you are having a foodie talk when working out.
Just looking at the gorgeous pictures makes my mouth water, this cornbread
looks so yummy.

Skillet cornbread is the best! Love the crisp crust on the bottom. And I like that you use way more cornmeal than white flour. I sometimes add whole corn kernels to my cornbread too – makes for such a nice texture. Super recipe – thanks.
So fun that you have a trainer who believes in doing things in moderation. Love the corn bread, it looks great.
I am pinning this right now, going to make this week and enjoy for days after. This looks like the most perfect cornbread in the world!
Great trainer, giving you recipes while you do your reps. lol This looks delicious, as cornbread is one of the ways to my heart!
Oh wow, I’m sure this is the most beautiful cornbread I’ve ever seen! You made something so simply looks so gorgeous! That’s simply amazing and the work of art! 🙂
I love it that you talk food with your trainer! My physical therapist and I used to discuss cupcakes all the time. He had a HUGE sweet tooth.
Cornbread is one of my favorite soup accompaniments! I love the spice in this. Can’t wait to try it!
This skillet recipe is truly fabulous! Looks awesome!
Just in time for Thanksgiving and in a skillet so rustic.
You know I’m taking this one to dinner. Thanks, Asha!
Thank You my friends.
Yes, isn’t it nice to have trainers who like to eat?..:)
@Amy-thanks love, very sweet of you.
@Colette- I can’t wait for you to try this out, enjoy.
Wow, a bread recipe from your trainer’s grandma…speak of travelling recipes 🙂 Btw, what are you training for? I had started gymming to loose my postpartem pounds, loved it initally, then got bored of the routine and sorta stopped now and I can see my pounds returning…boo!
I love this recipe though, gotta try it sometime.
looks sooooo delicious Asha. My brother is making cornbread for thanksgiving, I sent him your recipe just in case he changes his mind of using his own. 🙂
Delicious cornbread!
What size skillet did you use. Made it, flavor was great, but was very thin. Thinking that the skillet might have been a bit wider. If so, will this work if I double the recipe?
Sounds like you have a great trainer. My trainer just told me the other day “When you need to eat snack, don’t eat anything that’s not from ground”… I was like WHAT?! Basically eat some food that’s not processed? Eat fruits etc instead of healthy bars or cereal… if they don’t grow from the ground then don’t eat it… I simply can’t follow such strict diet!! 😀 I rather want to eat your grandma’s special cornbread! 😉
This looks amazing! I’m going to try to make it for friends tomorrow. I love the use of the chives to decorate the top. Did you put them on at the beginning of the 30 minute bake, or near the end? I don’t have time to do a test myself!
