Each month I meet with a group of local bloggers for lunch at a different restaurant. This month we tried out Moe’s Original BBQ and I couldn’t get enough of their cornbread! I couldn’t decide by looking at it if it was cornbread, Texas toast, or biscotti, but after one bite I knew I’d be trying to recreate it at home. I like to call it Texas Toast Cornbread.

Being a good Southern girl I’m not much for sugar in the cornbread, but the salty/spicy/sweet taste of their cornbread made me reconsider. The recipe below is pretty close to Moe’s, sans the diced green chiles. I left them out since I didn’t feel like bringing two preschoolers to Walmart just for a can of them. It’s cold out there, ya’ll!
