BR, I made several of these wonderful recipes last year. Everyone loved the cherry pie and it was so incredibly easy! And the garlic-lemon green beans are delicious.

I have a question tho. For the cornbread, you say to use 4 pkgs. of cornbread mix. What kind? I've always used the recipe on the corn meal container. Is there something better? (And I bet whatever it is, it won't be sold up here in our stores.)
It's the Martha White that comes in the collapsible packages (not in a box). Yes, you might have a problem finding it in Chicago. I don't think my husband (from Madison, WI) ever had cornbread until he joined our family.

I'm flattered that you like our recipes! :)

I'll check but I doubt it. I imagine I will be able to special order some tho.

Yes, we LOVE your daughter's salsa recipe!

Of course you will find it in suburban Chicago; don't worry. Cornbread mix is universally beloved, even in the colder regions! You'll find it in with the muffin mixes in the bakery aisle. It's not an exotic item (thank goodness :razz: ).

I didn't know that. Like I said, Mr. BR had never had cornbread until he moved down South.

BTW how are you and Merman? Tell him I said, "Hey." That's Southern for "hello." LOLOL.

Well, most do not like corn bread in Chicago. Like BR's husband, it is sort of considered "exotic" or (gasp) "foreign." You probably do find it more in Indiana - - most people around here think of Indiana as "Southern." :rotfl: (I just couldn't resist. ;-))

Don't hold back, JohnRudy. You are right. We are "Southern" in Indiana. Maybe that accounts for why I need to go to SoWal every other month and you don't. You just don't have Southern in you. :eek:

As you can see from the link, I can indeed find Martha White in Indianapolis (there's a packet in my cupboard right now). But you can't. Sorry, nanananna boobooo! :rotfl:

WOW! :eek: Kick someone while they're down, won't you? That's pretty tough.
You're right, I don't have any Southern in me. ;-) :rotfl:
Not only do I not get to go to the beach every other month, I can't find cornbread mix!
