Jalapeno and Cheese Cornbread

I'm no cornbread expert but I love this recipe! It's a little spicy and the cheese  adds great flavour. It's even better the next day. We ate it with home made baked beans but the next day it was also great along side a spinach salad. If there were any left over my plan was to make them into croutons....maybe next time.

You know it's good when they can't wait for the photo shoot to end!
