That Jiffy type of sweet cornbread was the only kind I ever had until I
moved to TX. Becca's cornbread (cooked in a cast iron skillet) is
nowhere near as sweet.

I like them both... the Jiffy type is good as a muffin or by itself and
the Southern kind is good when you eat it with a meal instead of bread
or rolls.

Different strokes.

Yep -- me too. I like sweet cornbread. When I use a box of Jiffy, I
always add a half-cup of frozen corn.

Co-incidentally, I found this recipe tonight and plan to try it the
next time I want cornbread. It's supposed to be a Jiffy-like flavor,
but a little moister which I will like. Remember I said I've evolved
to think Jiffy is a little too sweet or me? I will start by leaving
out the 1/4 c sugar and see how it goes. There's still plenty of
sweetness left!

I'm good with the Hawaiian one dsi1 posted--[as is my wife who is a
Jiffy fan- she says 'Same flavor- but moister.] - But those 'Mexican
honey puffs' and 'cookie butter babies' [with Biscoff spread] sure
look sinful.<g>

Yes, I was just looking at them and thinking "breakfast"... but I
don't see the cookie butter babies. What caught my eye were the two
related cookies - coconut crunch cookie candy and turtle cookies.

If you mean 'slip' as in 'slip off my diet' - then no-- I've never
dieted. I just go with portion control and try to get a couple
healthy meals in each day. We have some *very small* Christmas
cookies in this house. [and lots of them-- I made more than 20
different ones this year<g>]

I'm still right where I was in the beginning of October, weight-wise.

I'd prefer to be down a couple pounds, but that'll come in time. The
extra pounds took me 20 yrs to gain- If it takes 5 to lose 'em I'm
satisfied.

When I learned that Biscoff spread is nothing but Biscoff cookies
blended with vegetable oil, I gained an abhorrence for the product. Wish
I could feel that way about Nutella too, because in some ways it's even
worse.
