OH! I meant to tell ya'll that Emeril's banana french toast was delicious! I wouldn't exactly call it quick and easy, though. It does take some time to prep, but its well worth it! My hubby loved it and he's not big on fruit(unlike me, I could eat fruit several times a day).

Jiffy, Kelloggs' cereals (Battle Creek) and of course - we're the Asparagus capital of the world! Lots of wonderful things come from Michigan.

always have added a bit of sugar to my cornbread whether it's homemade or Jiffy or some other pkg'd kind. I grew up in northern OK & CB always had sugar in it.

Sugar here in Texas too. My mother has this heavy pan that she has had since before I was born that she makes cornbread in...and it is delicious. She dusts the pan with corn meal before she pours in the mix.

i love jiffy and sweet cornbread but my dh hates it. the first time i made jiffy, he kept saying something wasn't right. i insisted i just followed directions. when he saw the box, he knew the problem...sugar. he doesn't like sugar in anything. my mom always put a spoon of sugar in her greens. my hubby tasted them and could detect the sugar. his mom didn't do that and thought my mom was nuts.

Made cornbread tonight - the kind w/maple syrup in it instead of sugar! LOL -- and then some cornbread/blueberry muffins. Got Red Mill's medium ground corn meal and I LOVE it! There's actual texture to it, and the flavor is fantastic. Paired the cornbread w/a super spicy venison chili and it was the perfect winter night meal.

I make my cornbread in a cast-iron skillet. Heat the oil a little bit on the stove, then pour the batter in. Have it brown just a tad and then stick it in the oven. I would die without my cast-irons. Sometimes I put a bit of sugar in mine. Depends what I am making it for. Chili, yes...beans and ham hocks, no. I too live in TX and thought that Jiffy was a southern thang. I live in a city where Morrison's is from. Corn-Kits, Bis-Kits, Pan-Kits. Pioneer bought them a couple years back.

Jiffy also makes choc. cake mix that was the perfect size for my Easy-Bake Oven when I was a little girl. I'm from Mich. also and I LOVE Jiffy, but my hubby is southern and hates it. It IS the sugar thing.

Let me just tell you Jiffy fans that the Jiffy factory tour is quite a fun and interesting thing to do with the kiddos. And at the end you get a free box of brownie mix.

I love Jiffy, and I knew it was from Michigan (I read my labels) But I make many things from scratch. Sometimes I add sugar and sometimes I don't. Depends on my mood....or something

Jiffy used to make a white frosting mix that we used as far back as I can remember to make divinity. Wish they still did.

They still make it. http://www.jiffymix.com/mixes/m_whitefrost.html You can also buy a case of 24 boxes from amazon.com if you can't find it locally.
