Strawberry bread

I found this recipe on Pinterest. It is amazing!!!

Ingredients:
1/2 cup unsalted butter
3/4 cup granulated white sugar
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup sour cream (or plain yogurt)
1/2 cup walnuts or pecans, coarsely chopped (optional)
1 1/2 cups chopped fresh strawberries


Directions:
Preheat oven
to 350 degrees F and place the oven rack in the middle position. Spray the bottom and sides of an 8-cup loaf pan (9 x 5 x 3 inch) with nonstick cooking spray.

In the bowl of your electric mixer, or with a hand mixer, beat the butter until softened (about 1
minute). Add the sugar and continue to beat until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add in the vanilla extract. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as
needed. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and
ground cinnamon. With the mixer on low, add the flour mixture (in three additions) and sour cream (in two additions) alternately, starting and ending with the flour. Mix only until
combined. Gently fold in the chopped strawberries and walnuts.

Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and bake about 1 hour, or until the bread is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Place on a wire rack to cool and then remove the bread from the pan. Serve warm or at room temperature. This bread can be frozen.

Chili Cornbread Casserole

Well, it's been a very long time since I last posted a recipe! I'm going to try to post a new recipe a lot more often. I've been trying a lot of new recipes lately, so I already have lots to post!

We tried this recipe a couple of weeks ago and all LOVED it. It's very easy and so yummy!

I made a big pot of chili for dinner one night and just used the leftover chili for this dish. Here's my recipe for chili. Or you could just use whatever chili recipe you like! Just pour the chili into an 8x8 baking dish and spread cornbread mix evenly over the top. A store bought mix would work, but I prefer homemade (I'll include my favorite cornbread recipe at the end). Cover with foil and bake at 400 for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake an additional 10-20 minutes, or until cornbread is golden brown. Serve with sour cream and shredded cheese.
