Jalapeno and Cheese Cornbread

November 10, 2011 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 4 Comments

I have to say I’m a little sad!  I get off work at 2pm and when I was driving home, the sun was different, it had that haze, and not very bright.  I had the realization that winter is just about here!  I am such a summer person, now I love my fall and winter foods, but I love the summer more then food, crazy I know.  I look forward to the holidays, but after that I am officially done and patiently await for spring fever to hit!  I live in N. California so I can’t complain about winter like my East Coast friends, but I am from Buffalo after all, and the cold was the reason I left!  The last time I lived there, I got stuck outside with no gloves, and I had sneakers on, it was 7pm and all I could see was white surrounding me and the hear the crackle of ice under my foot.  I took my dog Doodles out to go potty’s and when I was walking out of my apartment, the door shut behind me and I was locked out!  We both hid at the cellar door hoping for someone to come home, but no one!  My luck, my Husband (boyfriend then) was working late!  I was cursing under my breath as Doodles and I snuggled together to keep warm.  It must of been below zero out and it was a windy clear night.  As you know clear nights means brisk cold!  That was when I swore I am moving as soon as it’s safe to drive over the Sierra Mountains.  I watched the news when I made back in the apartment and they said it was the coldest winter in 20 years!  Figures, huh?  June of that year, I moved!  No way was I going through that again.  I told my friend a story, about the cold.  I told her, that it would get so cold all you could do is scream!  She thought I was crazy!  Well, she and I had to go to Philadelphia in the winter time, and it was icy, cold and snowy!  The temperature gauge on the car read ICE!  ICE, ick!  She looked at me and said “now I know what you mean, it’s so cold you just want to scream!”  See it sounds weird but being in the cold, makes you do weird things!!   So for now all I can do is embrace the winter and make wonderful comfort foods to keep me warm!  So with that I bring you last night’s bread that I had with my Wally’s Beef Chili (By the way I had that for lunch today and tastes so good the next day, maybe even better then the first day?).

This was the first time I ever made cornbread, no box stuff here!  I read several recipes and I combined them all to make my own.  You know me, I wanted low calorie, and I think I found it!  This bread is quick to make,moist and just a subtle heat from the jalapenos. I really enjoyed this bread and will definitely make again!

Here are the ingredients, it looks like a lot, but really it’s basic ingredients that you may have in your pantry.  The only thing not here is the cheese which I almost forgot, until the very end!


I got everything together and even husked and peeled my corn off the cob.

Mixed the dry ingredients in the bowl, and in a little bowl I added the wet, mix together and fold in the jalapenos, scallions and cheese.  Bake in the oven for 15 minutes!

Next time I want to try it in an iron skillet!  Here it is out of the oven.

Serve warm with some honey or butter! Sorry the pictures aren’t great, my family has no patients on waiting for there food, so I had to snap the photos fast!

Jalapeno Cheese Cornbread – Edited from mornings e-mail, I forgot to add the jalapeno to the recipe ingrediants (stupid me, it’s the main ingrediant!)

1/2 cup All-purpose flour

1/2 Whole Wheat  Pastry Flour

1 cup Cornmeal

2 tablespoons Sugar

2 teaspoons Baking Powder

1/2 teaspoon Salt

2 Egg Whites

1 cup Skim Milk

2 Tbsp. Butter- Melted

1/4 Cup Chopped Scallions

1/4 Cup Cheddar Cheese or Mexican Lite Cheese- Grated

1 Jalapeno – diced and chopped small

1 Ear of Corn – Peeled off husk or use frozen corn thawed about 1/3 – 1/2 cup

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400

In a bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and salt.

In another bowl, combine egg whites, milk and melted butter.

Stir wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir until moistened and no more flour remains.  Fold in the corn, jalapeno, cheese and scallions.  Pour into a 8″ x  8″ square baking pan coated with nonstick cooking spray.

Bake at 400 for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.   Serve warm.

Makes 12 nice size pieces

Ready for the Calories?   I am proud of myself on this one!!

Calories per slice:  116,  Fat:  1.6,  Sodium:  131,  Potassium:32,  Carbs:  21,  Fiber: 1,  Sugar:  3.3,  Protein:  4.4

Using Cream of Corn would be great in this too!

Serve with Wally’s Beef Chili and you have a great hearty meal!!

Do you like Cornbread?  Do you have a favorite recipe for corn bread?  What do you eat it with?

Have a great day!!!!

    […] like to make my cornbread quite thick and this recipe by Peanut butter and peppers is just it. You can choose to vary the thickness especially if your chilli also holds some […]

Happy Wednesday! For a short week, I sure am tired Happy Wednesday! For a short week, I sure am tired. I think I need more coffee and better food. I keep snacking and that is such a bad habit for me. I’m going to try to be better starting today.
🌸
I’m just loving my tray and riser by the sink. It’s so bright and happy. The only thing is, I look at it a bazillion times a day and I seemed to have neglected my coffee plant on the tray.
🌸
I totally forgot to water it and the leaves fell flat and got crispy. I’m happy it perked back up. This is one of the plants that I need to repot. The roots are growing out of the pot. I hope to get a little pot for it this weekend.
🌸
Things have been pretty quite here, but boy we had some serious high winds with gusts up to 60mph. The wind blew so many leaves off our citrus trees and broke my salvia plant. The poor plant can’t get a break. It finally started to grow back after Sampson stepped on it.
🌸
I hope you have an amazing day!!
🌸
Would you rather live without a TV or without a phone?

Hello Tuesday! It’s so nice having Monday off. Hello Tuesday! It’s so nice having Monday off.  I got so much done around the house. Lots of chores like the dreaded laundry and my favorite vacuuming. I’m saying that sarcastically. I don’t know why, but I just don’t like vacuuming.
🌷

Happy Monday! Hope you had a nice weekend. The wea Happy Monday! Hope you had a nice weekend. The weather was beautiful here, but that won’t last long. By mid week we will be back in the low 50’s with high wind and a chance of rain, for several days. But that’s okay, we need the rain.
🌷
Saturday morning I went to Trader Joe’s, and oh my gosh they had the most gorgeous tulips. I was so surprised to find them so early in the year. All those beautiful colors just made me happy. I picked up two bundles to take home with me. I just had too! Shhhh, some daffodils, a plant and planted tulips made it in my cart. I am unclear how that happened?🤷🏼‍♀️
🌷
I know, I know, I’m on the 30 day, no buying home decor challenge. But are flowers really decor? They are more of a “put a smile on your face because you know Spring is coming” kind of flower. I’ll make any excuse I can.
🌷
I did go to Michaels yesterday with my husband and I walked out empty handed. I even saw some really cute decor, but I told myself no. Today is day 18! You do realize, we are going shopping on the 31st.
🌷
Did you do anything fun this weekend?

Happy Friday!  Time to do the happy dance! I don’t have any major plans this weekend, which is nice. But I do think I’ll be cleaning out the pantry. It became a mess during the holidays.
🪶
I’m ending the week with my little friend Woody. Woody is a Nuttall Woodpecker that spends the night in our birdhouse. He comes home at dusk and leaves at sunrise. So right now Woody sleeps just over 14 hours. I have noticed the days are getting longer, as he goes to bed about two minutes later every night. Yes I watch. lol
🪶
My husband said Woody leaves in the morning to go to work and comes home after work. I think he leaves in the morning to go visit his girlfriend. They spend the days flying, holding wings as they soar in the air together.
🪶
I’m actually surprised we have a woodpecker since they normally like to hang around the California Oak Woodland trees. We don’t have oak trees where I live, at least that I know of. Woody is also a California bird, they pretty much stays within the state.
🪶
In the first video; Woody is making the hole bigger on the birdhouse so he could fit in. He was at it for awhile. If you listen to the video, you can here him pecking. He spent the 1st night in the blue birdhouse, then changed his mind to the cedar birdhouse. He’s been with us for 7 nights so far.
🪶
The second video is Woody coming home and going to sleep. We are just full of joy seeing him come back. My husband didn’t think birds lived in a birdhouse, and he is so excited to see one actually use the birdhouse he hung. For a man who didn’t want bird feeders, he gets so excited to see them. If birds are in the yard, he won’t go outside because he doesn’t want to disturb them.
🪶
The two photos were captures I got. He actually didn’t freak out and leave when he saw me. I was about 5’ away from him.
🪶
I know this is not decor, but the birds just make me so happy.
🪶
What is your favorite bird?

Hello hello! Happy Thursday! It’s been a busy w Hello hello! Happy Thursday!  It’s been a busy week, so the weekend can’t get here soon enough. Yesterday it hit 66, it felt like spring out. This weekend, I’ll be cleaning up the garden. I’ll take you on a tiny tour this weekend.
❤️
I love making vignettes. It helps give me ideas on how and where I want to display things in my home, so you may see some of these items placed somewhere else at a later date.
❤️
My friend Liz @little_bit_original gifted me the cute little coffee with heart block and the snowman with heart. Give me all the hearts!  Liz has the cutest little shop, be sure you check her out.

Hi Everyone! Happy Wednesday! We are half way ther Hi Everyone! Happy Wednesday! We are half way there!  I’m counting down to the weekend. It’s supposed to hit near 70 degrees which is rare for this time of year.
💕
I’m sharing with you my little Valentines vignette that I put together. Since some of you said buying candy and displaying it was considered home decor, I used the Hostess Snow Balls that my husband bought.
💕
He said your using the Snow Balls I bought for Home Decor. I said yup! It’s pink and goes with my Valentines. Now I can’t eat them because I don’t want to lose my display. Lol
💕
I was so excited to get my happy mail from @thevintagehomestudio. The tea towel and candy bar was the perfect addition to my display. I love my tea towel so much. Give me all the hearts.
💕
I’m half way through my no buying home decor challenge. So far so good, but I will tell you now, I am going to buy some flowers when I hit up Trader Joe’s this week, I just have too. I heard they got a bunch of gorgeous tulips. I must have them. But I promise that I won’t go crazy.
💕
What are your plans for the weekend?

Hey, hey, hey happy Tuesday! The days are getting Hey, hey, hey happy Tuesday! The days are getting longer and Spring will be here before we know it. #sponsored I can’t wait! Spring is my favorite season!
🌸
I’m sharing with you my new Yuri 4 piece patio set that I got from RST Brands. I love the clean lines and it’s made with certified eucalyptus wood. Plus it is so comfortable to sit on.
🌸
The beautiful light blue cushions are covered in a durable olefin fabric that is weather resistant. Plus the cushions have zippers, so you can wash the cushion covers. That’s a big plus, considering Sampson loves to sit on furniture.
🌸
I can’t wait to decorate my Yuri 4 piece seating set with throws, pillows and of course plants. When the weather warms up, I’ll take you along with me when I decorate.
🌸
Are you looking forward to Spring?

Happy Monday! As usual the weekend flew by, but I’m happy that I got some things done. I’m really trying to do some purge and organize. Slowly moving at it, one day at a time.
💕
I’m sharing with you my Valentines Day tiered tray. If you notice, I finally got a new tiered tray.  Woohoo, the tiered tray is from @paperadpallet. I’m so happy to ditch my old white one. It was so crooked that I had to put a towel under to make it straight. I now finally have a straight tiered tray.
💕
I’ve been good and I still haven’t gone shopping, but after putting this tray together, I realize I don’t own any wooden hearts. I really would like some white and pink ones. I could do a diy, I don’t think that’s considered buying home decor?
💕
How was your weekend?

Hello Thursday! Hope your week is going well. So f Hello Thursday! Hope your week is going well. So far so good over here. I’ve been doing well not shopping. I had to have Target deliver groceries yesterday because I was afraid to go in that store. I have no control. 23 more days to go for my 30 day no buying home decor challenge.
🌿
I’m slowly working on refreshing my home after Christmas. I worked on this vignette in my living room. It’s really hard shopping my home. I grabbed stuff in just about every room to make this vignette.
🌿
I’m sticking with the whites and greens and added the blue vase to go with my pillow in the background. I added another faux fern, I didn’t realize how many I have floating around.
🌿
The pot the fern is in was a pot that my spider plant was in that I got from Trader Joe’s. I told you I really shopped around my home. But it’s kind of fun using things I already have.
🌿
Do you like shopping your own home?
