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.

I'm from the south and we always used Jiffy. Hubby is from the north and hates Jiffy.

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.

You can also buy a case of 24 boxes from amazon.com if you can't find it locally.
