Broccoli Cornbread

Broccoli Cornbread is not new.  When I enjoyed my weight in it last week at my brother’s home in Natchez, Mississippi, I decided to give it a try.  As I was preparing for our Sunday Dinner my wife, Teresa, pulled out a 3×5 recipe card for Broccoli Cornbread written by our friend, Maggie Namie, in the 1980s.  Oh well, my memory is not that good, so I’m enjoying it for the first time …. again.
