I am very tired right now, but couldn't settle enough to take a nap....Ug. Trying to get all of the laundry done so we are prepared for the week ahead. It's amazing how much laundry 3 people can produce. I can't even imagine family's with 4 or 5 kids.
Alright...onto the food. We had a Caribbean themed meal the other night. We had boiled cabbage, coconut beans and rice and this delicious sweet cornbread....
It tastes more like cake than cornbread. It kind of reminded me of carrot cake, though there were no carrots in it..
Sweet Caribbean Cornbread
1 cup all purpose flour
3/4 cups yellow cornmeal
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup sweetened canned coconut milk
