Sunday Brunch at home on a budget - baking cornbread

What's for brunch on a Sunday? The kids often enjoy pancakes, eggs and/or sausage for example. Whenever something needs baking, they love to help pour ingredients & stir batter. We just finished prepping some corn bread batter to baking in the oven at 400 degrees for 15 minutes. The kids love to devour cornbread & we keep it simple with the very inexpensive Jiffy cornbread mix that calls for adding just 1/3 cup of milk and one egg - so simple!- love it.

Meanwhile, the kids are enjoying snacking on cereal (gluten free Honey Nut Cheerios) & green apples as well as glasses of milk & orange juice while they wait for that cornbread to be ready. They already know that dinner this evening will be oven baked lamb chops & they cannot wait! Lol

Ok, the cornbread's ready!

We like to line baking pans with foil for super easy clean up. While our beautiful, delicious and Cheap cornbrea, perfect for baking on a budget, is cooling on top of the turned off oven & range, our Avon melamine food platter is all set up to transfer cornbread slice on to it. This platter is so cool, it's a joy to use for displaying food at meal time. I first used on of my Avon melamine platters yesterday to present turkey wings at dinner time & I'm looking forward to using the platters again and again. They are so fun to use with beautiful and creative design. Remember you can get a box of 2 of these serving platters at the Avon website, www.getgoodsavings.com for just $7.99!
