Cornbread

Note:  Cornbread is a southern staple.  My boys can almost make a meal off a pan of cornbread.   This recipe calls for one cup fresh cut corn which makes it extra delicious.  I am really going to miss the fresh garden vegetables of summer, but I am not going to miss heat.  I am SO ready for it to leave!
