This zesty cornbread recipe is packed with green chiles and pepper jack cheese to spice up a classic recipe (and your life)! Plus, a video! Exciting. 

This zesty cornbread recipe is packed with green chiles and pepper jack cheese to spice up a classic recipe (and your life)!This zesty cornbread recipe is packed with green chiles and pepper jack cheese to spice up a classic recipe (and your life)! I was reading through a magazine the other day and saw that they had described a cheesecake as “sassy.”

Which was…confusing. Like, how is the cheesecake sassy? I mean, it’s an object; a thing. It doesn’t have a personality. It’s not like Siri where it can sass back all it wants. It can’t throw shade.

Should I call my Pepper Jack Cheese and Herb Biscuits spirited, since they’re a little spicy and peppery? Or maybe these Classic Lemon Bars should be saucy, since they’re super tangy?

It’s weird, right?? It’s not just me?

I feel like I really strongly dislike human terms being used to describe food.

But, anyway, let’s get back on point and talk about this sass-less, zesty cornbread.

This zesty cornbread recipe is packed with green chiles and pepper jack cheese to spice up a classic recipe (and your life)! Cornbread is my underrated comfort food, meaning, it’s one of my all-time favorite comfort foods that I tend to forget about.

I’m making it my spring resolution (it’s totally a thing) to make cornbread more often. It might seem anticlimactic, but considering how big a role food plays in my life, it’s pretty significant.

And, this particular cornbread recipe–oh, ohhh, oh. It’s a zesty winner.

This zesty cornbread recipe is packed with green chiles and pepper jack cheese to spice up a classic recipe (and your life)! Homemade cornbread is actually super easy to make!

Don’t get me wrong, I’m definitely a fan of the boxed stuff. Jiffy makes a good corn muffin (especially when a little honey and butter is slathered all over it), and it definitely works in a jiff.

However, if you’ve got the cornmeal and a few extra minutes to spare, this homemade cornbread recipe is totally worth it! While it might not be as simple as opening a box, it is still really simple.

Cornbread me.
