    I make my cornbread from scratch and when I don’t have buttermilk I use vinegar in a cup of milk let it sit a few.
    I use 2 cups of cornmeal to 1 cup flour no sugar for my dressing cornbread, and make it normal like eggs and buttermilk. Take an iron skillet put oil at bottom and get it sizzling hot, then pour my batter.
    I also go ahead & seasoning to my cornbread like poultry or sage and everything else for my dressing, then I cook it . Not the veggies just dry seasoning.
    Then once done I add everything else.
    I crumble it up in a big bowl, and add everything else, I also use the onion, pepper, celery in mine also.
    This meals looks so good thanks for sharing, praying for everyone that God will Bless them during this season and they will have the best Christmas/ Thanksgiving ever.

    You’d save so much more money making your cornbread from scratch and not wasting money on a packet mix - the ingredients needed are so simple and can be put together so quickly as they’re just basic baking supplies you’d already have except maybe the cornmeal - but once you’ve purchased a bag of that you can make so much more cornbread than one pack of jiffy can provide
    Here’s the recipe I use:
    DRY INGREDIENTS
    1 cup all-purpose plain flour
    1 1/4 cup yellow cornmeal
    1/2 cup sugar
    1 teaspoon salt
    2 teaspoons baking powder
    Mix together
    WET INGREDIENTS
    1/2 cup oil or unsalted melted butter
    2 eggs whisked
    1 and 1/4 cups milk
    Couple of splashes of golden syrup or similar product
    Mix together
    Then combine and allow to sit for a while to moisten the cornmeal
    Preheat oven then Bake at 392 F (200 celsius) for 20 mins
    It makes easily 15 cornbread muffins

    Everything looks amazing! Traditionally, we make it from scratch. We tend to keep cornmeal on a regular basis so thats a money saver for us. We don't use stuffing mix, and we add cream of chicken. It's pretty simple, but it's delicious. A few more spices as well. It started with my great grandma. I was fortunate to have her growing up. Now that i think about it, our family recipe is over 100 years old. Now I'm a grandmother. 😅 Wow. Time is shorter than you think.

    Heyyy! I was looking forward to this video! Aldi is certainly helping with keeping prices low this season. Using things like extra-sharp cheddar, by the way, is great on a budget because the sharpness can be used to extend the flavor without the need for addition ingredients/spices.
    Also, for more food help people can call 211 and see which organizations have free giveaways. It's a great, nation-wide resource in the US on top of the places you've mentioned!

      @ mom died when I was 6 and dad became an alcoholic he loved her so much so he gave me away to his grandma, my great grandmother. But I am striving in LA fires and all. It gives me peace to watch you cook. Thank you.
